How to prevent odor from vacuum glass food containers?
Vacuum glass food containers have become an indispensable part of modern family kitchens due to their excellent fresh-keeping performance and environmental protection characteristics. However, during use, sometimes the container will produce odor, which not only affects the taste of the food, but may also pose a potential threat to health. This article will explore in depth how to effectively prevent the vacuum glass food container from producing odor, and provide comprehensive guidance from purchase, use, cleaning to storage.
1. Choose high-quality materials to avoid odor problems from the source
Choose high-quality materials: High-quality vacuum glass food containers should use high borosilicate glass, which is not only highly transparent but also not easy to absorb odors and has strong corrosion resistance. When purchasing, pay attention to checking the product description to confirm whether it is marked as "lead-free and non-toxic" and "food-grade material".
Good sealing performance: Good sealing is the key to preventing odor. Check whether the silicone ring of the container fits tightly and whether the lid is easy to open but can be closed firmly. Some high-end brands also use a double-sealing design to further enhance the leak-proof and odor-proof effect.
Consider additional functions: Some vacuum glass containers are equipped with deodorizing filters or activated carbon bags. These designs can continuously absorb and decompose odors during storage, and are powerful weapons to prevent odors.
2. Correct operation reduces the risk of odors
Thoroughly clean the first use: Before the first use of the newly purchased vacuum glass food container, it needs to be thoroughly cleaned with a mild detergent to remove the industrial odor that may remain during the production process. Then rinse it with boiling water several times to ensure that there is no odor.
Avoid storing foods that are prone to odor: Some foods such as garlic, onions, seafood, etc. have strong odors. Long-term storage can easily cause the container to absorb their odors. Try to store such foods separately or use sealed bags to isolate them.
Control the amount of food and the degree of vacuum: Do not overfill the container, leave a certain space to facilitate the discharge of air during vacuuming, avoid overflow of food juice due to excessive squeezing, and increase the risk of odor. At the same time, adjust the appropriate vacuum degree according to the type of food to avoid excessive pressure affecting food quality and container sealing.
3. Regular deep cleaning to keep fresh
Daily cleaning: After each use, clean the inside and outside of the container with warm water and neutral detergent in time, paying special attention to cleaning the edges and sealing rings to avoid accumulation of food residues.
Deep cleaning: Regularly (recommended once a month) deep cleaning can be performed. You can use a mixture of white vinegar and water to soak the container for several hours. White vinegar has a good deodorizing and sterilizing effect. Rinse with clean water and dry it.
Deodorizing tips: If a slight odor has appeared, you can try the following methods: put in a few slices of fresh lemon or orange peel, add hot water, and soak overnight; or sprinkle baking soda in the container, add a small amount of water to form a paste, and let it stand for a few hours before washing.
4. Reasonable storage to extend the service life
Dry storage: After cleaning and thoroughly drying, the container should be placed upside down in a ventilated and dry place to avoid the growth of bacteria and mold in a humid environment, thereby producing odor.
Avoid direct sunlight: Long-term exposure to sunlight will accelerate the aging of the sealing ring and reduce the sealing effect. It may also cause the temperature inside the container to rise and promote the release of odor substances. Therefore, the container should be stored in a cool and dark place.
Store different types of food separately: To avoid cross-contamination and odor transfer, it is recommended to store different types of food in different vacuum glass containers, especially foods with strong odors should be separated from other foods.
Preventing vacuum glass food containers from producing odors requires multiple links from purchase, use, cleaning to storage, and every detail cannot be ignored. By choosing high-quality products, correct operation, regular deep cleaning, and reasonable storage, odor problems can be effectively avoided or alleviated, so that vacuum glass food containers can better serve our daily lives and ensure food safety and health. Remember, good maintenance habits can not only extend the service life of the container but also be responsible for the health of your family.
