As a common metal material, stainless steel is widely used in various containers and tableware because of its good corrosion resistance and beautiful appearance. Stainless steel thermos mug has become the first choice for many people due to its thermal insulation performance. However, there are some misconceptions about the use of stainless steel thermos cups, the most widespread of which is that it cannot be used to make tea or soy milk. Next, we will uncover the truth of these misconceptions.
1. Stainless steel thermos cups can't make tea
Misconception:Stainless steel thermos cups will release heavy metals when making tea, which is harmful to the human body.
Truth:Stainless steel thermos mug is an alloy that is mainly composed of elements such as iron, chromium, and nickel. These elements are quite stable under normal conditions and do not react easily with the substances in tea. In fact, a stainless steel thermos mug is a great container for making tea. Using a stainless steel thermos cup to make tea can not only maintain the aroma and taste of tea, but also keep it warm for a long time, making tea tasting more pleasant. Of course, in order to ensure the taste and health of the tea, it is recommended to choose a qualified stainless steel thermos cup and avoid using inferior products.
Second, the stainless steel thermos cup can not be filled with soybean milk
Misconception:Stainless steel thermos cups of soy milk will release harmful substances and cause harm to the human body.
Truth:Soy milk is a nutritious drink that is rich in ingredients such as plant protein and phytoestrogens. The concern about soy milk in stainless steel thermos cups mainly comes from the belief that the phytoestrogens in soy milk will react with stainless steel to produce harmful substances. However, scientific studies have shown that the reaction of phytoestrogens to stainless steel is very weak and almost negligible. In fact, it is completely safe to use stainless steel thermos cups for soy milk. Of course, in order to ensure the taste and nutritional value of soy milk, it is recommended to heat and cook the soy milk before loading it into a stainless steel thermos cup, and at the same time avoid storing it for a long time.
Third, stainless steel has a taste
Misconception:Stainless steel cutlery or containers will develop a special taste during use.
Truth:The smell of stainless steel is not due to the stainless steel itself, but to food, detergents or other substances that come into contact with it. For example, acids in certain foods may react with stainless steel, creating some flavor. In addition, some detergents or detergents may also remain on the surface of the stainless steel after use, resulting in the development of odors. To avoid this, it is recommended to wash stainless steel cutlery or containers with hot water before using them, making sure there is no residue. At the same time, try to choose food-grade stainless steel materials to ensure the safety of use.
Fourth, the types and selection of stainless steel
There are many types of stainless steel, which can be divided into various types according to their composition and processing technology. When choosing stainless steel products, we need to pay attention to their composition and process to ensure their quality and safety.
1. Food-grade stainless steel
Food-grade stainless steel refers to stainless steel materials that meet food safety standards, and its content of heavy metals such as lead, chromium, and nickel is low, and it will not cause harm to the human body. Food-grade stainless steel is an ideal material for the manufacture of cutlery and containers, which can guarantee the hygiene and safety of food.
Stainless steel
304 stainless steel is a widely used stainless steel type that contains high chromium and nickel elements, which has good corrosion resistance and beautiful appearance. At the same time, 304 stainless steel is also a kind of food-grade stainless steel, which is widely used in tableware, containers and kitchenware and other fields.
Stainless steel
316 stainless steel is a type of stainless steel that contains higher nickel and molybdenum, and its corrosion resistance is better than that of 304 stainless steel. Due to its good corrosion resistance and high strength, 316 stainless steel is widely used in medical devices, pharmaceutical equipment and other fields.
When choosing stainless steel products, we should pay attention to the following points:
1. Choose regular brands and merchants to avoid buying inferior products.
2. Check the quality certificate and safety certification of the product to ensure that it meets the relevant standards and regulations.
3. Pay attention to the composition and process of the product, and choose food-grade stainless steel products.
4. During use, follow the correct use and cleaning methods to avoid damage or contamination to the product.
5. Maintenance and maintenance of stainless steel
In order to maintain the beauty and longevity of stainless steel products, we need to properly maintain and care for them.
1.Washing
Use warm water and neutral detergents to clean stainless steel products, and avoid using irritating substances such as bleach, strong acids or alkalis. After washing, wipe dry with a clean cloth to avoid water stains.
Avoid scratches
Stainless steel surfaces are susceptible to scratches and should be avoided from contact with hard objects or cleaned with metal brushes. If there are scratches or dents on the surface, they should be treated or replaced in time.
Storage
Stainless steel products should be stored in a dry, ventilated place to avoid moisture and mildew. When not in use for a long time, the surface should be covered with a dry cloth to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt.
Heat treatment
For some stainless steel products that need to be heat treated, the correct heating and cooling procedures should be followed to avoid damage or deformation of the product caused by too high or too low temperature.
Through the right selection, use, maintenance and care, we can give full play to the advantages of stainless steel products and enjoy the convenience and safety it brings. In daily life, let us pay more attention to the quality and safety of stainless steel products, and create a healthy and beautiful living environment for ourselves and our families!
Sixth, the future development of stainless steel
With the progress of science and technology and people's pursuit of quality of life, the application field of stainless steel products continues to expand, and its manufacturing process and technology are also constantly innovating and developing. In the future, stainless steel products will pay more attention to the development of personalization, functionality and intelligence.
1. Personalized design
With the increase of consumers' demand for personalization, the design of stainless steel products will also be more diversified. Designers will combine modern aesthetics and practicality to create products that are more in line with people's aesthetics and needs. At the same time, the customized production of stainless steel products will also become a trend to meet the needs of consumers for personalized customization.
2. Functional expansion
The functionality of stainless steel products will also continue to expand. For example, in addition to thermal insulation performance, stainless steel thermos cups may also add antibacterial, anti-fingerprint and other functions. At the same time, the application of stainless steel products in environmental protection and sustainable development will also receive more attention, such as degradable, recyclable, etc.
3. Intelligent integration
With the development of the Internet of Things and smart home, stainless steel products will be integrated with intelligent technology. For example, stainless steel tableware can be connected to smart kitchen equipment to realize real-time monitoring of food temperature, nutritional information prompting and other functions. This intelligent integration will make stainless steel products more convenient and efficient, and improve people's quality of life.
In the future, stainless steel products will continue to exert their excellent performance and reliability, and will be widely used in various fields. At the same time, with people's attention to health and environmental protection, the safety and sustainability of stainless steel products will become an important research direction. I believe that in the near future, stainless steel products will appear in our lives with a more innovative and diversified attitude, bringing more convenience and beauty to our lives
