Considerations for Choosing Plastic Drinking Straws in Catering and Health
In the catering and beverage service, the choice of plastic straws cannot be ignored. Currently, in addition to ordinary plastic straws, there are also antibacterial plastic straws on the market. Antibacterial straws are made of special plastic with nano silver ion antibacterial agents added, and have been tested to effectively inhibit the growth of common bacteria, with an antibacterial rate of up to 99%. For shops that provide freshly squeezed juices and cold drinks, using antibacterial straws can reduce the risk of beverage spoilage caused by straw contamination and protect customer health. In addition, when choosing straws, pay attention to the safety of their materials and avoid using straws containing harmful substances such as phthalates, which may affect the human endocrine system. It is recommended that catering companies choose plastic straws produced by regular manufacturers and that meet food safety standards to provide customers with a safe and healthy dining experience.
The correct way to use catering plastic cleaning supplies
The correct use of plastic cleaning products is crucial for cleaning in the catering industry. Take the common plastic cleaning brush as an example. The brush's bristle material is diverse. Hard-bristled brushes are suitable for cleaning stubborn stains, such as thick grease on stoves, while soft-bristled brushes are used to clean tableware surfaces to avoid scratching them. When cleaning plastic food containers, first discard the food residue in the container, soak it in warm water, then gently scrub it with a cleaning brush, and rinse it with clean water. It is worth noting that the cleaning brush should be dried in time after use to avoid long-term damp conditions that breed bacteria. In addition, plastic cleaning cloths are effective in cleaning large areas such as desktops. They should be replaced regularly after use to maintain their cleaning effectiveness and ensure that the restaurant's hygiene meets standards.
How to extend the service life of plastic insulated food containers
To extend the lifespan of plastic insulated food containers in daily use, it's important to master a few techniques. First, preheat or pre-cool the container with warm water before use to avoid directly filling it with excessively hot or cold food, preventing damage to the container material due to sudden temperature changes. For example, if a certain brand of plastic insulated lunch box is directly filled with freshly cooked 100℃ hot soup, the container's inner lining may deform due to the instantaneous high temperature. Secondly, wash it promptly after use to avoid food residue from corroding the container. When cleaning, wipe with a neutral detergent and avoid using sharp tools such as steel wool to prevent scratching the container surface and affecting its insulation performance. When not in use for a long time, dry the container and store it in a dry, ventilated place.
