We will definitely use tableware when we eat. Now there are various kinds of tableware. Next, I will introduce to you whether glass tableware can be heated by microwave oven, and whether glass tableware can be sterilized by disinfection cabinet.
1. Can glass tableware be heated in microwave oven?
Ordinary glass cannot. Ordinary glass has poor heat resistance and is easily broken when heated at high temperatures. Borosilicate glass and glass-ceramic have better thermal stability and can be used for microwave heating. Containers for heating food in microwave ovens are common insulating materials that can be penetrated by microwaves, such as glass, ceramic, rubber, plastic, etc., which can heat food without affecting the microwave oven, and some containers cannot be placed Heating in a microwave oven, such as metal utensils, metal utensils will reflect microwaves into the oven cavity, which may cause electric sparks to damage the microwave oven, and in addition, plastics cannot be heated, and a lot of harmful substances will be produced. .
2. Can glass tableware be sterilized with a sterilizer?
Because of its high temperature resistance and stable structure, glass is not easy to undergo chemical reactions, so it can generally be sterilized. The glass cup is a cup made of glass. Usually the raw material is high borosilicate glass, which is fired at a high temperature of more than 600 degrees. It is a new type of glass. eco-friendly tea cups. However, glass generally has poor resistance to extreme cold and heat.
The disinfection cabinet using heating and disinfection is heated by an infrared heating tube, and the temperature in the cabinet rises to 120 to 170 degrees Celsius to achieve the purpose of disinfection. The electrodes of the infrared heater tube inside are easily oxidized due to humidity. If the glass after brushing is still dripping with water, it will be put into the disinfection cabinet, and the various electrical components and metal surfaces inside will be easily oxidized by moisture, and there will be contact resistance at the base of the infrared heating tube, which will easily burn the base or other components. Shorten the service life of the sterilizer.
Tableware includes complete sets, including metal utensils, ceramic tableware, tea and wine utensils, glass utensils, paper utensils, plastic utensils and various container tools (such as bowls, saucers, cups, pots, etc.) and hand-held utensils. Utensils (such as chopsticks, knives, forks, spoons, straws, sticks, etc.) and other utensils.
