How to choose kitchen utensils
1. Hygienic principle
Kitchen utensils should have anti-pollution ability, especially the function of resisting food contaminated by cockroaches and mice, so as to ensure the quality of the whole kitchen utensils. At present, the cabinets on the market are sealed with cockroach-proof strips, which can effectively prevent food from being contaminated.

Because the kitchen is an open flame area, fire-proof materials determine the safety of kitchen utensils and even families, especially the surface fire-proof ability of kitchen utensils, which is an important criterion for choosing kitchen utensils. Therefore, try to choose kitchen utensils made of incombustible and flame retardant materials when purchasing.
3. The principle of convenience
When designing kitchen utensils, it is necessary to design according to the correct process, so that it will be more convenient for future use. In addition, the height of the stove and the position of the hanging cabinet will directly affect the convenience of use.

How to clean kitchen utensils
1. Iron products
These utensils mainly refer to iron pans for cooking, spatulas for cooking and kitchen knives, etc. They are not difficult to clean, but they are easy to rust, so we should remember to dry them with a rag after cleaning them with detergent, so as not to rust. If you burn the pot when cooking, you can't brush it off with a brush. You can sprinkle some coarse salt and fry it a little, and then brush it with a brush, so it's easy to clean the pot. If the surface has rusted, you can wipe it with potato skin, and the rust will be eliminated soon.
2, aluminum products, stainless steel products
Some pots and pans are made of aluminum, and the kettle is also made of aluminum. After long-term use, it is easy to turn black, and it can't be washed clean. Then we can put banana peels, apple peels and other fruit peels in aluminum products, add water to boil them, and the fruit acid in the fruit peels will react with the oxide layer of aluminum products, and then rinse them with water. If it is a stainless steel appliance, you can wipe it with a soft cloth dipped in detergent or detergent.
3. Ceramic tableware
There are more such utensils, such as bowls, spoons and plates for serving vegetables. If you are a newly bought porcelain ware, we can soak them in 4% vinegar water first, and then boil them in a pot to remove most harmful substances. If the porcelain plates and bowls are too greasy to be washed clean, we can first rinse them with hot water, then wipe them with dry flour, and then rinse them with clear water, and they will be clean. If it is a bowl that has been beaten with egg liquid, it will leave a strong smell. We can soak it in cold water first and then wash it with hot water. If you wash it directly with hot water, the smell will stay on the bowl.
