As we can know from its name, the microwave lunch box is a lunch box that can be safely placed in a microwave oven for heating. So what kind of material should this kind of lunch box be made of? Today we will introduce what kind of material is good for microwave lunch boxes and introduce the brands of microwave lunch boxes.
What material is good for a microwave lunch box?
Glass microwave lunch boxes mainly include vessels made of borosilicate glass, crystallized glass, and titanium oxide crystallized glass. Due to their better microwave penetration performance , with stable physical and chemical properties and high temperature resistance (up to 500 degrees Celsius or even 1000 degrees Celsius), so glass-type microwave lunch boxes are suitable for long-term use in microwave ovens.
Ceramic microwave lunch boxes are generally divided into heat-resistant ceramics and ordinary ceramics. Pots, plates and other utensils made of heat-resistant ceramics are more suitable for long-term use in microwave ovens, while ordinary ceramic utensils can only be used for short-term heating. Special attention should be paid to the fact that ceramic vessels containing gold and silver wires will cause sparks when used in a microwave oven, so it is recommended not to use them.
Plastic microwave lunch boxes and various types of utensils made of polypropylene, polypropylene resin, composite polypropylene, polysulfone and other materials have a temperature resistance of over 120 degrees Celsius and can be heated in a microwave oven. Containers made of PET resin and polyester materials have a temperature resistance of over 220 degrees Celsius and can also be used for barbecues.
Wood and paper microwave lunch boxes can be used in the microwave oven for a short period of time when they are wet. But if it takes a long time, the drying of the utensils will cause excessive combustion. Painted utensils are prohibited from being used in microwave ovens because the paint contains benzene, which will dissipate when heated by microwaves and contaminate food. Therefore, for safety and health, it is better to choose a microwave lunch box made of glass or ceramic.
Because microwaves cannot penetrate various types of utensils made of metal materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, and enamel, the food in them cannot be heated, so metal lunch boxes are not suitable for use in microwave ovens.
