What is the material of children's lunch box? What material is the baby's lunch box?
Material: inner disk: ABS resin; Plate edge: polypropylene (PP); Bottom gasket: thermoplastic elastic rubber
Heat resistance: 90℃
Features: four-leaf clover shape, anti-dumping, high value.
Security:
◆ The so-called ABS resin is actually a kind of plastic and one of the five synthetic resins. Ordinary ABS plastics are generally used in the fields of electrical appliances, automobiles and building materials, and belong to engineering plastics. But food-grade ABS is a kind of plastic material, which can directly contact with food and is non-toxic.
◆ According to SPI plastic labeling scheme, ABS plastic products labeled as 5 can be reused after careful cleaning, and it is the only plastic that can be put into microwave oven (but it is not suitable for heating food containing liquid, because the temperature of liquid will reach above 90℃ after heating).
◆ It should be noted that ABS plastic has certain heat resistance, but it is not resistant to high temperature. It can be used at normal temperature and medium temperature, and the maximum heat resistance is 90℃; Do not boil or disinfect with high-temperature steam, do not pour boiling water or contact oily food for a long time, which is easy to deform and release toxic substances.
Practicality:
● The overall plate is relatively large and deep enough, even if you eat soup food such as wonton and noodles, it is no problem.
● There is anti-slip rubber at the bottom of the tray and a slope on the side, which has a large contact area with the desktop, so you don't have to worry about being knocked over by children; But there is no adsorption function, and the plate is relatively light, which makes it easier for children to push or end it.
● The appearance of clover is not only to sell cute, but a special design after consideration: it helps to gather food together and allows children to pick up their own meals conveniently.
● The rubber part and the dinner plate part are detachable, so they may fall off when falling.
● The face value is high, and the matching fork, spoon and bib of the same paragraph are very pleasing to the eye. However, it is more suitable to enjoy at home. After all, taking a whole set out will occupy a certain space in the mommy bag.
● This undivided plate is actually more suitable for the baby's eating habits.
● It needs to be cleaned with neutral detergent and warm water, and cannot be disinfected at high temperature.
Representative products of stainless steel tableware: thinkbaby children's stainless steel tableware.
Material: inner layer: 304 stainless steel; Outer layer: polypropylene (PP)
Heat resistance: 600-800℃
Features: the inner container can be disassembled and cleaned, sterilized at high temperature, insulated by outer plastic, and resistant to falling.
Security:
According to the national food safety standard of stainless steel products, food grade 304 is one of the best stainless steel materials in line with GB9684 and the first choice for manufacturing stainless steel food containers.
◆ 304 stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and intergranular corrosion resistance, and also has good corrosion resistance to alkali solution and most organic and inorganic acids. General pharmaceutical, food and other industries, direct contact with drugs and food equipment, the provisions of the external surface must be 304 stainless steel.
◆ However, it should be noted that "304 stainless steel" is not equal to "food grade stainless steel", and it needs special treatment to become "food grade 304 stainless steel". Food grade 304 stainless steel has stricter control over toxic and harmful elements. Physical and chemical indicators mainly detect elements harmful to human body, such as lead, chromium, nickel, cadmium and arsenic, while non-food grade stainless steel mainly detects elements that affect corrosion resistance, such as phosphorus, sulfur and silicon. Food grade stainless steel requires beautiful appearance and polished surface.
Practicality:
● As can be seen from the popularity of thinkbaby on children's dining tables, its practicality is really high.
● Detachable stainless steel liner can be used as a container to cook directly in the pot, and can also be used to heat cold food through water, which is an essential function for babies to eat.
● The inner and outer gallbladder are separated into two bowls. The inner container is filled with hot rice and soup, and the outer container can be filled with fruit snacks.
● Although stainless steel is easy to clean, it is inevitable that the baby will be dirty inside and outside when eating, so washing two bowls at a time will increase the workload of the mother. If you only use the inner container at a time, you may burn your baby and make the appearance of tableware impossible to show.
● The overall weight is slightly heavier, occupying a little space. If you go out with a whole set, it will take up a lot of space in your mommy's bag.
Water injection insulation bowl represents the product: small green bud insulation sucker bowl.
Material: polypropylene (PP); Silicone sucker
Heat resistance: 120℃
Features: it can be filled with water to keep warm, and can be adsorbed on the desktop. The plates are in different formats.
Security:
◆ The safety of PP material is the same as 2.
◆ Without heat preservation, the outer wall will heat up after injecting overheated water, so pay attention to the temperature of water injection. It is generally recommended to use hot water around 45-60℃ (the trick shared by my mother is: leave a little water after each use, so that the next injection of boiled water will not be too hot).
◆ Hollow PP material is brittle and easily broken by baby.
◆ The water injection area can't be opened to wipe the inside, and it will become moldy or precipitate water and alkali after a long time. Distilled water is better.
◆ Although the water injection port is very tight, the possibility of being mistakenly opened by the baby is very low, but it will always make my mother a little worried. The water injection port is better below or in a hidden place.
Practicality:
● The compartment is small and shallow, suitable for babies who just started to eat complementary food, and can be used around 1 year.
● If it is indoors in winter, the climate is cold (for example, in the south ...), and the baby eats slowly, the role of water injection is very important.
● The advantage of dividing dishes is that each food can maintain its own taste and will not be mixed together; But it may also lead some children to eat only certain favorite foods.
Low at the bottom of the silicone sucker can be adsorbed on a smooth surface, but the adsorption force is general. If the baby is strong and the table top is not tight, you can pull the bowl off the table top.
● Hot water can be used for scalding, not for microwave and boiling disinfection.
Silicone folding bowl
Representative products: Marcus &; Marcus silicone folding bowl
Material: silica gel
Heat resistance: 220℃
Features: Foldable, microwave-enabled, easy to carry and fall-proof.
Security:
◆ Compared with other commonly used children's tableware materials, silicone is a safer material, which is environmentally friendly and non-toxic; Generally, imported products for children are liquid silicone, which is safer than solid silicone and reaches food grade, such as pacifiers and gutta percha.
◆ Silica gel products are acid-resistant and alkali-resistant, and are not easily deformed; The material is soft and will not cause accidental injury to the baby.
◆ Silicone bowls have good heat insulation, are not easy to burn hands, can be heated by microwave oven, can be boiled and disinfected at high temperature, and will not decompose harmful substances, and can also be stored in the refrigerator.
Practicality:
● Because it can be folded, it is very convenient to carry.
● But the disadvantage also comes from folding: when the bowl is full of food or soup, if you accidentally fold the edge of the bowl, the contents will easily overflow. Similarly, it is easy for the baby to accidentally fold up and turn over.
● Silica gel has strong stain resistance and is more convenient to clean.
● It is more suitable as a snack bowl, with some small solid snacks, so it won't be too full.
The representative product of plastic sucker bowl: plastic sucker bowl for energetic baby.
Material: polypropylene (pp)
Heat resistance: 120℃
Features: strong adsorption, anti-microwave, anti-fall
Security:
◆ Polypropylene (PP) has good heat resistance. The product can be sterilized at a temperature above 100℃, and it will not deform at 150℃ without external force. The chemical stability of polypropylene is very good, except that it can be corroded by concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid, and it is relatively stable to other chemical reagents.
◆ Because the maximum service temperature of PP material is about 130℃, you can't use it to store foods with too high oil temperature or too much oil. Do not cover when entering the microwave oven to maintain good air permeability and avoid excessive temperature.
In addition, the surface pattern of plastic tableware for infants contains many metal elements such as lead and cadmium, and a protective film is coated on the surface of the pattern, but once this film is cut, it is easy to release harmful substances. So try to choose plastic tableware with no pattern, colorless and tasteless, smooth surface and strong hand feeling. The brighter the color, the more metal elements such as lead and cadmium may be contained.
Practicality:
● The bowl is separated from the sucker and has a mechanism. First, suck the sucker on the table, and then rotate to clamp the bowl on the sucker, which is very firm. Even adults can't break the trick without knowing it.
● When eating at home, you can fix the bowl on the tray of the baby chair or on any smooth desktop. The suction is stable enough, the baby will never turn it over, and the mother can rest assured that the baby can eat it himself.
● When dining out, there are requirements for the table top, and there is nothing you can do if you encounter a tablecloth, uneven or greasy table top, but the lack of suction cups does not affect the use of tableware itself.
● The mouth of the bowl is large and the depth is appropriate, but because the bottom of the bowl is relatively flat, it is not suitable for holding soup. Finally, it is difficult to scoop up a little soup at the bottom of the bowl.
Representative products of imitation porcelain/resin tableware: jumping zoo series plates/bowls.
Material: melamine (imitation porcelain resin)
Heat resistance: 120℃
Features: high face value, using plant ink, resistant to falling.
Security:
◆ On X Bao, the materials of this series of tableware are generally marked as: imitation porcelain, resin, etc. The so-called imitation porcelain resin is essentially melamine.
Melamine tableware was once the first choice for children's tableware and kindergarten tableware (except stainless steel bowls without face value), because it is light in weight, beautiful in appearance, durable and unbreakable. Then why don't merchants write "material: melamine" properly? Because melamine is a common name, it also has a chemical name "melamine". In fact, melamine plastic tableware is made by polycondensation of melamine and formaldehyde under certain conditions, and then adding pulp and pigment. Because it is light, easy to wash and not fragile, it is loved by people, but melamine and formaldehyde are likely to precipitate at high temperature (so don't boil or steam sterilize).
◆ When using melamine tableware meeting quality standards, it is safe as long as it does not exceed 120 degrees Celsius. At the same time, try not to hold acidic, oily and alkaline foods for a long time, and do not heat foods with more grease in melamine tableware, which can effectively prevent unqualified melamine tableware from releasing toxic substances.
In addition, the failure rate of porcelain-like tableware on the market is very high. If the raw material resin is not polymerized well, melamine will remain and release melamine molecules at high temperature. Therefore, when buying melamine resin tableware, you should go to a regular merchant to buy it, and choose products that have passed QS certification (QS: quality and safety production license for product manufacturers).
Practicality:
● The plate is divided into two grids, each grid is large enough and about 4cm deep, and soup food can also be filled. Plates and bowls have protruding edges to prevent some food from falling on the table.
● The overall plate is relatively heavy, and there are anti-slip strips at the bottom, so it is difficult for the baby to push it around easily.
● Being good-looking is a big advantage. Some babies may try to finish their food in order to see the animals at the bottom of the plate, and even prefer to eat because of using this set of tableware.
● Because the material is hard, you can't help falling. Once you fall, you are in danger of cracking.
● It needs to be cleaned with neutral detergent and warm water, and cannot be disinfected at high temperature. Don't use the microwave oven.
Tableware made of natural materials
Representative products: rice husk tableware
Materials: rice husk, starch
Heat resistance: 120℃
Features: Natural materials, biodegradable.
Representative products: ecological bear corn tableware
Material: corn starch (PLA)
Heat resistance: 60℃
Features: Natural materials, biodegradable.
Security:
◆ Rice husk tableware is made of rice husk fiber through a series of processes, such as screening rice husk, crushing it into rice husk fiber, filtering it into fiber particles, mixing it with high-purity materials, high-temperature sterilization, hot pressing and ultraviolet sterilization. The finished product can be reused, contains no toxin and can be decomposed naturally.
◆ Corn tableware is made of PLA (biodegradable plastic polylactic acid) extracted from corn starch. Starch raw materials are saccharified to obtain glucose, then glucose and some strains are fermented to produce high-purity lactic acid, and then polylactic acid with a certain molecular weight is synthesized by chemical synthesis.
◆ The materials of the above two kinds of tableware belong to new environmental protection materials developed in recent years, which are characterized by good biodegradability, recycling, no environmental pollution and environmental protection.
◆ No additives harmful to human body are added in the production process, but due to the defects in the firmness of renewable materials, non-toxic minerals may be added in the production to increase the firmness of raw materials.
◆ There are usually three degradation conditions: sufficient water (relative humidity above 90%), sufficient oxygen (non-closed circulation) and appropriate temperature (58~70℃), so tableware should not be soaked in hot water for a long time (more than 3 days) to prevent decomposition.
Practicality:
● There are plates and bowls. The size and depth can be selected according to the actual needs, but the styles are mostly quite satisfactory-bowls are bowls, plates are plates, cups are cups, and there are no characteristics and shortcomings. How to use them;
● Due to the limitation of its own materials, it is generally single in color, with a slight change in shape at most. Generally, it is relatively simple, which may be preferred by parents. For children, the appearance is a bit monotonous.
● Because natural wax will be formed on the surface after high temperature pressing, and the texture is dense, it is easier to clean.
● The weight and fall resistance are actually similar to those of plastic products, but there are no fall prevention measures, which are more suitable for older children.
● Rice husk tableware can accept short-time microwave (less than 3 minutes below medium fire); Corn tableware can't microwave; Can't be sterilized at high temperature (boiling or steam sterilization). Be careful not to soak for a long time.
