What are the advantages of silicone kitchenware?
I believe many people have questions. What are the advantages of silicone products compared to other products? Why do we use silicone kitchen tools?
Silica gel is an inert man-made compound composed of inorganic silicon and oxygen main chain. On the oxygen main chain, there are organic silicon groups attached to silicon atoms. Kitchen tools made of silicone have more advantages than similar products made of metal, plastic, rubber or wood. Most silicone products have bright colors. In addition, let us consider their other characteristics and see if silicone kitchenware is worth using.

In addition, let us consider their other characteristics and see if silicone kitchenware is worth using.
The surface of silicone kitchenware is as soft as rubber.
This makes them very friendly when dealing with non-stick surfaces. They will not scratch or damage non-stick pans like wooden or metal spoons. This flexibility makes it as useful as a rubber spatula, which can scrape food from a non-stick pan without damaging the non-stick coating.Silicone kitchen utensils are heat resistant.
It can withstand very high temperatures (some manufacturers claim its heat resistance up to 600°F). If you use a silicone spatula or a silicone mixing spoon in cooking, even if you accidentally put it in the pot, you don't have to worry about it melting after a period of time.Silicone kitchenware has high stain resistance.
This is because of the non-porous nature of silica gel. When you stir dark foods with silicone kitchenware, such as food products made from tomatoes, it will not retain the taste or color. This also makes silicone products easier to clean. Wooden spoons are porous and are more likely to breed microorganisms. In contrast, the surface of silicone kitchen utensils does not support the growth of microorganisms, so it is safe to contact food.
Silicone kitchen utensils are non-corrosive and wear-resistant.
Unlike some metals that corrode when they come into contact with certain acids in food, food-grade silica gel is very safe to use in any food. It will not react with food or beverages, nor will it produce any harmful fumes; it will not react negatively when exposed to extreme temperatures. This means that it may have a longer service life than other kitchen appliances.
