How to choose and purchase a stainless steel kettle

When buying a stainless steel electric kettle, the top priority is the inner liner material. Avoid grade 201 industrial stainless steel completely, as it may release harmful substances after long-term boiling and pose health risks. Food-grade 304 stainless steel is the cost-effective choice for daily household use. The bottom of the kettle must be permanently marked with SUS304, complying with national safety standards for food contact materials. It resists corrosion from tap water and works steadily for boiling water and making tea. If budget permits, upgrade to 316L stainless steel, which offers superior acid, alkali and limescale resistance, ideal for frequent boiling of lemon water, herbal tea, medicinal soup or areas with poor coastal water quality. Seamless integrated liners are recommended to prevent dirt buildup in welded gaps, and mirror-polished inner walls facilitate limescale cleaning. Check mandatory 3C certification and a high-quality dual thermostat with auto shut-off on boiling and dry-burning protection. A double-layer heat-insulated body prevents scalding, paired with food-grade silicone sealing rings. Choose a proper capacity based on family size, check base workmanship and power cord thickness, and opt for reputable brands to eliminate electric leakage and overheating hazards from cheap uncertified products.

Taboos for using stainless steel products

What are the reasons for stainless steel rusting

1. Stainless steel also has other metallic substances on its surface, which can easily cause electrochemical corrosion and rust. 2. Stainless steel also has stains, such as fruit juice, which can be said to cause organic acids under the action of water and oxygen. After too long, rust will also appear. 3.

Why can some stainless steel tableware be placed in the microwave

Whether stainless steel tableware can be placed in a microwave depends on whether its material composition and structural design will conflict with the heating principle of the microwave. To understand this, it is necessary to first clarify the heating logic of the microwave oven, and then analyze the key characteristics of "safe stainless steel tableware".

Is plastic or stainless steel better for the freshness box

The selection of fresh-keeping boxes mainly depends on usage needs, with food grade PP plastic and stainless steel each having their own suitable scenarios. The bottom of the PP material fresh-keeping box is marked with the number 5, which is lightweight and has excellent sealing performance for the lid. The soup is not easy to leak when inverted, and the biggest highlight is that it can be directly placed in the microwave for heating. It is very convenient for daily office workers to heat meals and thaw ingredients. However, long-term storage of acidic foods and repeated high-temperature heating can lead to aging and yellowing, and surface scratches can easily leave oil stains and breed bacteria, making it unsuitable for long-term pickling of kimchi and soaking of sour and spicy side dishes. Stainless steel fresh-keeping boxes have stronger material stability and are resistant to acid and alkali corrosion. They are more secure for storing pickled foods and leftovers in refrigeration. They can be placed in steamers and disinfection cabinets for high-temperature sterilization, are resistant to falling, durable, and not easily damaged, and will not absorb food odors. The disadvantage is that it cannot be microwave heated, the box body conducts heat quickly, and the feeling of holding hot food is relatively hot. Frequent microwave reheating and portable bento boxes are preferred for daily use, and compliant PP fresh-keeping boxes are preferred; For long-term refrigerated storage, pickling of food, pursuit of health and durability, and for children's use, stainless steel freshness boxes are preferred. When purchasing, avoid low-priced and low-quality products without material labels.
