With the progress of technology and the improvement of people’s economic level, silicone, as an emerging material, has gradually become an important part of the field of kitchen utensils. From kitchenware to storage utensils, silicone is favored by consumers because of its unique properties and wide application prospects.

  Characteristics of silicone material 

  High and low temperature resistance: Silicone can work stably in the temperature range of -40°C to 230°C, suitable for baking, cooking and other kitchen operations.

1. Flexibility and elasticity: Siliconehas good softness and elasticity. It can be easily formedand is not easy to break or deformation when used.
2. Safety and environmental protection: Food-grade silicone is non-toxic and tasteless. It will not release harmful substances, and meets international standards for food contact materials.
3. Easy to clean: Silicone surface is smooth. It’s anti-fouling ability is strongand not easy to adsorb oil.

  The specific application of silicone in kitchen utensils

1. Silicone mold: Silicone mold is widely used in the field of baking, such as cake mold, chocolate mold and ice mold. Due to the softness of silicone, the demoulding process is very convenient and will not damage the shape of the food.
2. Silicone kitchenware: Silicone spatula, spoon, brush and other toolsbecome a must for many family kitchens, becausethey have high temperature resistance and do not damage the coating of the pot.
3. Sealing and storage supplies: Fresh-keeping coversand vacuum sealed containers made of silicone can effectively extend the freshness period of food and can be reused. This is conducive to reducing the generation of plastic waste, environmental protection and practical.
4. Children’s tableware: Silicone plates, bibs and suction cups are very suitable for infants and young children because of their soft, non-toxic and fall-resistant characteristics.

  Advantages of silicone kitchen utensils

1. Light and durable: Silicone material is light but not easy to damage. It haslong service life.
2. Health and safety: Silicone does not contain bisphenol A or other harmful chemicals. It is not harmful forhuman health.
3. Diversity and aesthetics: Silicone products are rich in color, strong plasticity, diverse design styles, to meet the aesthetic needs of different consumers.
4. Energy saving and environmental protection: Silicone can be recycled to reduce the impact on the environment.

  Precautions for using silicone kitchen utensils 

  Although silicone kitchen use has many advantages, but also need to pay attention to when using: 

• Avoid contact with sharp objects to prevent scratching the surface.
• Long-term exposure to high temperature direct fire is not recommended, so as not to accelerate aging.
• Choose silicone products that meet food safety standards to ensure good health.

  Future development trend

  In the future, the development trend of silicone kitchenware may be reflected in the following aspects:

1. Environmental protection and sustainability

  Many brands and manufacturers will strengthen the research and development of degradable, non-toxic and harmless silicone materials to meet the market demand for green products.

2. Higher heat resistance and durability

  Although the existing silicone kitchenware has been able to withstand higher temperatures, the future silicone material may further improve the high temperature resistance. It can adapt to higher temperature cooking environment, such as direct contact with open flames or withstand higher baking temperatures.

  3. Combine with smart technology

  Future silicone kitchenware may be combined with smart kitchen equipment, adding temperature control, timing, automatic cleaning and other functions, and even docking with smart phone applications to provide a more convenient and accurate cooking experience. Such smart kitchenware will likely be part of a new trend in the kitchen.
