What should we pay attention to when using wooden tableware

Wooden tableware is highly favored in terms of food safety and environmental protection, but some details should also be paid attention to when using it to ensure its hygiene and extend its service life.

Cleaning is the first step in using wooden tableware. Before using wooden tableware, it should be gently washed with warm water and neutral detergent, and then rinsed with clean water. This can remove dust and impurities on the surface and ensure the hygiene of wooden tableware. Avoid using detergents containing irritating ingredients to avoid damage to the wood.

In addition, avoid using wooden tableware in contact with high-temperature food or liquid. Wooden tableware is generally not resistant to high temperatures, and long-term contact with high-temperature food or liquid can cause wood deformation or burns. Therefore, when using it, wooden tableware should be avoided from being heated in a microwave or oven, and it should not be used to hold hot drinks or hot food.

In addition, soaking wooden tableware for a long time is also necessary to avoid. Wood has strong water absorption, and long-term soaking can cause wooden tableware to deform, mold or produce odor. Therefore, the time that wooden tableware is in contact with water should be minimized when cleaning, and it should be wiped and dried immediately after cleaning. If wooden tableware is found to be moldy or odorous, it should be cleaned and disinfected in time.

Finally, avoid using hard objects to scratch the surface of wooden tableware. The surface of wooden tableware is usually easy to scratch, so when using it, you should avoid using hard or sharp objects to scratch the surface to avoid damaging the wood. It is recommended to use a soft cloth or sponge to gently wipe the wooden tableware to keep its surface smooth and intact.
