With the development of social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the rise of take-out catering industry, there are also a lot of disposable tableware, disposable tableware is generally divided into the following categories, respectively: Polypropylene (PP) tableware, polystyrene (PS) tableware, disposable degradable plastic tableware, disposable paper tableware, disposable tinfoil tableware, etc., these tableware are widely used in all kinds of takeout, it is not only easy to use, but also easy to carry, so many people will ask, these tableware can be used in the oven?
1. Polypropylene (PP) tableware: polypropylene material is relatively heat-resistant, generally can withstand temperatures as high as 120°C to 140°C, so some special PP tableware may be marked for microwave heating, but it is still necessary to be careful when used in the oven to ensure that the temperature is not too high, so as not to deform or release harmful substances.
2. Polystyrene (PS) tableware: This material is usually not resistant to high temperature and is not suitable for use in the oven, because PS is easy to soften or even melt at high temperature.
3. Disposable degradable plastic tableware: Although this type of tableware is environmentally friendly, their heat resistance varies, and most degradable plastics are not suitable for use in high temperature environments, including ovens, because high temperatures may lead to premature degradation or release of unknown substances.
4. Disposable paper cutlery: Paper cutlery is usually not suitable for ovens because they cannot withstand high temperatures, burn easily or produce harmful fumes.
5. Disposable tinfoil tableware: Tinfoil tableware, including aluminum foil lunch box, because its main material is aluminum foil, it has the characteristics of heat preservation, waterproof and oil proof, sealing and good thermal conductivity, etc., which can make food evenly heated. It is usually safe to use in the oven, but not in the microwave oven, because the foil will reflect the microwave, affecting the heating efficiency of the microwave oven, and may cause sparks.
Aluminum foil lunch boxes can be used in the oven, while disposable tableware made of plastic, paper and other materials is generally not recommended to be used in the oven due to heat resistance limitations. Before using any tableware, it is best to check the product description to confirm its applicable maximum temperature and use conditions to ensure food safety and safe use. Because the aluminum foil box has the characteristics of high and low temperature resistance, safety and environmental protection, thermal insulation and fragrance protection, lightweight, etc., it has become more and more popular with businesses and consumers in recent years.
