Silicone is a material composed of silicone, oxygen, carbon and hydrogen. Due to its non-toxic and unstable nature, it's widely used in Baby toys, baby tableware, baby teether, kitchen utensils, baking mold, medical devices and more . . . . Especially food grade silicone can withstand high temperatures without releasing harmful chemicals. The silicone material also has the following advantages:
Heat resistance: Food grade silicone can withstand temperatures up to 428°F (220°C) or higher, making it ideal for baking and baking. It does not melt or deform easily, ensuring that it retains its structure and function even at high temperatures.
Non-toxic: Silicone does not contain harmful chemicals such as BPA (bisphenol A) or phthalates, which are commonly found in some plastic products. This makes it safer than plastic kitchen utensils.
EASY TO CLEAN: Silicone tools are non-porous, meaning they won’t absorb food odors or stains. This makes them hygienic and easy to clean.
No chemicals: Unlike cookware, silicone does not react with acidic or alkaline foods, preserving the taste and quality of your food.
So based on the above information, I think silicone kitchen utensils are safe.
While silicone cookware is safe, proper use and maintenance is crucial to ensure long-term safety. Choose some silicone product manufacturers with extensive manufacturing experience and comprehensive qualifications. Always choose tableware that is labeled "food grade" or certified by a regulatory agency. Avoid low-quality products that may contain fillers or impurities.
Silicone can withstand high temperatures but should not be used directly over an open flame as this can cause damage or discoloration.
Follow temperature limits and cleaning instructions provided by the manufacturer to prevent wear.
