Generally speaking, we wash it with tap water first, then wash it with detergent, put it in the pot and boil it in boiling water for half an hour before using it. However, with the development of the times, the varieties of chopsticks on the market are becoming more and more complex, and the manufacturing processes are different. How should these chopsticks with different materials and processes be disinfected?

  Bamboo chopsticks and wooden chopsticks are natural chopsticks of good quality. They are not poisonous or harmful. They will not deform in case of high temperature, and they are cheap. They should be used as chopsticks. However, bamboo chopsticks and wooden chopsticks are not cleaned properly. They are simply moldy and degenerated and need to be replaced frequently. Bone chopsticks have good texture, but they are simple to change color, and the price is also more expensive. Although silver chopsticks and stainless steel chopsticks do not have much impact on health, they do not feel good to use because of their heavy quality. Moreover, metal chopsticks have strong thermal conductivity and can simply scald your mouth when eating overheated food.

In particular, some young children have a low tolerance for lead and benzene, and they should avoid using brightly colored painted chopsticks. The texture of plastic chopsticks is brittle. After heating, they simply deform and melt, resulting in substances harmful to human body, and they are not advocated to be used. Ceramic chopsticks are fragile and not suitable for common tableware.
