Silicone bowls

Silicone products are becoming more and more common in our daily life, and some of them can even be used in microwave ovens, so will they not be toxic?
Generally speaking, the utensils we use in microwave ovens are all glass or ceramic materials. Or the kind that can withstand high temperatures. Because if it is not resistant to high temperature, it will easily break or even explode. Some high-temperature plastic and paper, wooden utensils can also occasionally be used in microwave ovens. However, wooden utensils will be roasted with frequent use, and plastic utensils will melt and release toxic substances with frequent use. So most people don't use either. Metal utensils are not used because microwaves cannot penetrate. But now silicone material has become a new choice.
Silicone material is stable, safe and non-toxic. It is a popular material used to make physical beverage utensils. Because it can withstand high temperatures, most of them can also be used in microwave ovens. And the properties of the silica gel material are very stable, and no toxic substances will be produced after high temperature heating. The heat insulation is also very strong, which is very suitable for use in microwave ovens.
