Stainless steel kitchenware has become the first choice for modern family kitchens due to its durability, ease of cleaning and good appearance. However, there are a wide variety of stainless steel products on the market with varying qualities. How can consumers identify high-quality stainless steel kitchenware?
First of all, make sure to choose food-grade stainless steel material. At present, the most common type on the market is 304 stainless steel (06Cr19Ni10), which has high corrosion resistance and safety, and is suitable for making kitchenware such as POTS, bowls and basins. 316 stainless steel (06Cr17Ni12Mo2), due to the addition of molybdenum, has stronger corrosion resistance and is particularly suitable for high-salt and high-acid environments, such as seafood POTS and medical equipment, but its cost is also higher.
Secondly, observe the product process. The surface of high-quality stainless steel kitchenware is smooth without burrs, the welding points are uniform and flat, and the handles are firmly connected. Inferior products may use 201 or 430 stainless steel, which is prone to rust and may pose a threat to health if used for a long time. Therefore, when making a purchase, it is recommended to choose a reputable brand. For instance, the products of Chaozhou Gujiao Stainless Steel Products Co., Ltd. are all made of food-grade 304/316 stainless steel to ensure safety and durability.
