Porcelain dishes and porcelain bowls are best not to use

In daily life, our most commonly used tableware is ceramic products. Compared with plastic tableware, consumers are more at ease with porcelain tableware. But do you really understand ceramic tableware? What should I pay attention to when using ceramic tableware?

Porcelain bowl with scratches will precipitate harmful substances

When using ceramic tableware, if there are scratches on the porcelain bowl or the porcelain plate, the glaze in the porcelain plate may be exposed. If the tableware with scratches is used to contain acidic, high temperature and other foods, it is very likely that heavy metals and other harmful substances will be separated out, which is harmful to human health.

If you use inferior and unqualified ceramic products, the harmful substances will be precipitated and enter the human body with food for a long time, which will cause chronic poisoning. The lead compound in the overglaze color ceramics can be dissolved by acid. When the food comes into contact with the tableware surface, the lead may be dissolved by the organic acid in the food.

Before using new ceramic tableware, it is best to sterilize with boiling water for 5 minutes, and then soak it in room temperature vinegar for 1-2 hours. This is because ceramics will dissolve some toxic substances contained in tableware when they encounter acidic substances. For unreliable ceramic tableware, it can be soaked in vinegar for several hours. If you notice a significant change in color, you should discard it.
