The harm of wooden spoons

Nowadays, many families use spoons made of wood. Many people think that wooden spoons are safer than other spoons. But in fact, it is not true. Some low-quality wooden spoons can actually be very harmful. Today we will introduce to you the dangers of spoons made of different materials, and we hope that if you find any, you will replace them in time.

Poor quality plastic spoon

Plastic spoons are generally made of polyethylene, which is odorless, non-toxic and chemically stable. However, polyethylene will release vinyl chloride under high temperature conditions, which is carcinogenic. If plasticizers and heavy metals such as lead and chromium are added to vinyl chloride, they are particularly easy to be absorbed on high-temperature food and sweat, which is harmful to health. Such plastic spoons must not be used.

Thin stainless steel spoon

Stainless steel spoons are made of stainless steel. The quality of the spoon mainly depends on the high temperature and corrosion resistance of the stainless steel. Generally speaking, thick spoons are better, while thin spoons are sensitive to salt or high temperature, and chloride ion corrosion or heavy metal precipitation will occur, which can cause respiratory diseases and poisoning, and in severe cases, can cause lung and heart failure.

Moldy wooden spoon

If a wooden spoon is used for too long and is stored in a humid environment, it will easily become moldy. A moldy wooden spoon contains a large amount of mold. If the human body accidentally ingests the mold, it will cause confusion in the digestive tract bacteria and cause poisoning. In severe cases, it will cause gastrointestinal diseases and endanger life.

Overglaze colored porcelain spoon

Overglaze decoration is usually painted directly after the first porcelain-making process. In addition, it is fired at low temperature, so the paint and material are easy to peel off. The pigment contains heavy metals such as lead, which can easily cause poisoning if it enters the body. Therefore, when purchasing, try to avoid this kind of porcelain spoon.

So how do you choose the right spoon?

Plain plastic spoon

There are many types of plastic spoons and many colors. But you must be careful to distinguish when choosing. Generally speaking, plain plastic spoons do not use too much paint, and the paint will not peel off when used, and the harm to the human body is very small. In addition, you should pay attention to the composition of the plastic spoon. The higher the content of heavy metals such as lead and chromium, the more harmful it is to human health.

Corrosion-resistant stainless steel spoon

To judge whether a stainless steel spoon is good, it mainly depends on whether the material it is made of is resistant to high temperature and corrosion. Generally speaking, except for stainless steel that is as thin as a blade, spoons made of other stainless steel materials can meet daily needs. If you have special needs, you can choose a stainless steel spoon with a smooth and thick surface, which is highly resistant to high temperatures and corrosion.

Textured wooden spoon

Spoons made of wood are easily riddled with holes from insects, so when choosing a spoon, you should carefully observe the surface of the spoon. If the surface is smooth, the texture is fine, and it exudes the fragrance of wood, it is definitely a high-quality spoon.

Crystal clear porcelain spoon

The production of porcelain spoons mainly depends on the firing temperature. Porcelain spoons fired at medium or low temperatures have a high water absorption rate, are prone to cracking and local leakage, and are difficult to clean. Porcelain spoons fired at high temperatures have a water absorption rate of less than 0.2%, are not easily attached to foreign bodies, and have a large crystal density, high strength of the porcelain surface, are not easily scratched, and are "white" in color without yellowing, and are as crystal clear as jade.
