When it comes to stainless steel, I believe everyone knows that there are still many items of such materials, especially kitchen utensils, such as spoons, spatulas and so on. But stainless steel is a general term, and there are specific distinctions in it.
Common stainless steel is divided into 304 and 316, although both are called stainless steel, but they are completely different. If you don't understand, you can ask the teacher of the hardware store, so that you can also prevent being pitted, spending money and not buying the material you want.
1. 304 stainless steel
304 stainless steel is the most common, and to meet this standard, it must contain 18% chromium and 8% nickel. And it is also food-grade stainless steel, which is used by many families.
Second, 316 stainless steel
It is different from 304 stainless steel, mainly because of the difference in the composition of stainless steel.
316 adds MO element, which is important because it is more resistant to corrosion and is mainly used in medicine and industry. But its price is also relatively expensive, generally not suitable for home use.
Third, which is better 304 stainless steel or 316?
Since there are differences between the two, there must be many people who are hesitating which stainless steel to buy.
In fact, the difference between the two is in the following three aspects:
1. Acid and alkali resistance
As mentioned earlier, the corrosion resistance of 316 stainless steel is stronger because its composition contains MO elements, but 304 does not contain this component, so its corrosion resistance will be lower.
2. Price
There is no doubt about the price, the price of 304 stainless steel will be higher, while the price of 304 stainless steel is not expensive, and the cost performance will be higher. Usually 316 is twice the price of 304.
3. Use environment
304 is mainly used in the home, such as kettles, rice bowls, chopsticks, spoons and so on. The 316 is mainly used in medicine and industry, generally to make various equipment.
There are not only 304 and 316 on the market, and the difference between the two has been introduced earlier, but there are also counterfeit goods. As a consumer, since you are spending money to buy, you must learn to distinguish between true and false, which is very important, so that you can also prevent being pitted and will not spend money to buy what you want.
1. Use special test solution
Now there are stainless steel special test fluids, which still sound quite advanced. Generally, you can buy a bottle, and then drop an appropriate amount of test liquid on the surface of stainless steel, and the next step is to observe the change in color. Specific identification methods can refer to the manual.
2. Look at the logo nameplate
Stainless steel supplies have steel seals, specifically 304 or 316, there are clear steel seals, so that they can also be distinguished. When buying, be sure to see if there is a steel seal, if there is not even a steel seal, then most of it is a fake, do not hesitate.
Stainless steel can be used in too many places, especially in ordinary households, such as kitchens. Today, let's talk about the cutting board in the kitchen, almost every kitchen has a cutting board, so that it can be operated normally, so that it can cut vegetables. There are several options for cutting boards, the most common being wood.
But wooden cutting boards have problems over time, and the most common problem is mold, such as the surface of wooden cutting boards is blackened and moldy. Mold is one of them, the key will breed a lot of bacteria, this is the most important, but also the most important, after all, you have to contact food, so eating is not healthy enough.
Most families only have one cutting board, and everything is used on this cutting board, such as desserts, vegetables, fish, etc., so that the food will be crossed, which will directly affect appetite. For the sake of everyone's health, researchers began to work on new cutting boards.
This is a stainless steel cutting board, it has many uses, such as can prevent mold, but also can be antibacterial, whether fruits, vegetables or fish, can be done, quality is definitely superior.
This stainless steel cutting board has also been developed and researched for many years, which is definitely a breakthrough in research. One of the biggest features is that it is double-sided, so it will be healthier to use.
And its stainless steel has two options, one is 304, the other is 316, but also adopts wire drawing anti-corrosion, anti-high temperature and other designs, not only durable but also particularly beautiful, is really a super high value cutting board.
Don't think that it is a stainless steel cutting board, so the weight is relatively high, in fact, this is not the case, the weight of a cutting board is only 4 pounds, and the food is not easy to slip when used. Both sides can be used to cut food, so that different foods can not be crossed between flavors, and they will feel more enjoyable to eat.
Its antibacterial effect is to achieve professional testing, and the antibacterial rate even reaches 99.9%, which is a healthier cutting board.
Because it is a double-sided cutting board, it can be used on each side, one side is used to cut cooked food, and the other side is used to cut raw food.
Many people in life like to eat desserts, so there is no need to worry, whether it is dessert or fruit. Although its surface is hard, there is no need to worry, even if it is used to chop meat, there is no need to worry about damage to the knife edge. Because one side is made of wheat straw,
The surrounding area of the cutting board is also specially designed, and the circle is wrapped in rubber, so that it can prevent vibration when chopping vegetables, and it will make others rest. Because the surface is very smooth, it is directly thrown into the pool after use, and it is clean as soon as it is washed, which is particularly trouble-free.
The surface of the cutting board is also very large, so even if it is used for rolling noodles, you really don't even need to buy a chopping board for kneading noodles.
It is precisely because of the large size that large families can use it.
