This is a good habit!
Scalding with boiling water can destroy some bacteria and viruses, which is suitable for health preservation.
This habit is not unique to Xiamen people. I'm from the northeast, so am I.
I eat out, take the tableware to the sink, and then wash it with detergent or hand sanitizer. If not, go to the boss and get something to be decontaminated. I don't have to wash it anymore anyway. And there must be some detergent or something.
I'm really worried about eating out now. In fact, this question is not much to write, just some of my own hygiene habits.
It's better to iron chopsticks with boiling water when eating out than not at all.
1, tableware disinfection includes low-temperature sterilization, cooking, disinfectants, disinfection equipment (disinfection cabinet, etc.). No matter which disinfection method is good, it is easy to make mistakes in operation or incomplete disinfection. This is not my prejudice. Like cooking methods, if you are exposed to the air for a long time after cooking, the "mold" in the air will easily grow on the tableware. Even if the disinfectant and equipment are vacuum-packed, the residual problem cannot be guaranteed. Tableware should not be wiped with woolen cloth after cleaning, which will cause secondary infection.
When we use tableware, scalding it with boiling water can also play a sterilization role. Is the boiling water at least 80- 100 degrees? As long as it is scalded for 2-5 minutes, it can also play the role of sterilization, relieving residual problems and cleaning tableware. Soaking in boiling water is also equivalent to cooking sterilization. Although it can't achieve the effect of cooking, it can at least eliminate part of it. Therefore, boiling a bubble before meals has a certain sterilization and cleaning effect, which makes us eat healthier.
This is my opinion, welcome to discuss! I am "Brother orange Xiao Liu"
It's useless, but it has a psychological effect.
70_80% effect,
It's no use scalding bowls and chopsticks with boiling water. It's just psychological comfort
Just comforting myself. Some people like it, others don't. If you really want to clean it, please press it with a pressure cooker before using it.
The human immune system can also kill scalded bacteria, and vice versa.
It doesn't hurt anyway.
