1.Look at the material grade
Look for food grade silicone
It must be food contact grade and reject ordinary industrial silica gel; the good one is solid food silica gel /liquid silica gel LSR, which is high temperature resistant, does not deform, and does not precipitate harmful substances.
Avoid recycled materials and miscellaneous materials.
It feels sticky, soft and not tough, and is easy to turn white and crack. Most of it is recycled waste. Cooking at high temperature will release odors and harmful substances.
2.Check certification standards (the most critical)
Regular good goods must have testing and certification:
Domestic: GB 4806.16 New national standard for food contact silicone
Commonly used for export: FDA (United States), LFGB (European Union), Japanese Food Hygiene Law
There are no test reports, only verbal food-grade ones, and they are given up directly.
3.Feel + appearance identification
Feel
Good silicone: it is delicate and smooth, has good rebound, is not easy to deform when pulled, is not sticky, and does not stick to ash.
Poor silicone: it feels rough to the touch, soft and collapsed, it is easy to turn white when pulled, and it can't go back when it is deformed by letting go.
appearance
The surface is uniform without air bubbles, no black spots and impurities, and no burrs on the edges; the color is warm and not dazzling, and the dark and glamorous staining is too heavy to choose as little as possible.
4.Smell the smell to distinguish whether it is good or bad
High-quality food grade: almost odorless, with a slight rubber smell that dissipates after a while of ventilation.
Inferior recycled materials: pungent plastic smell, sour taste, odor, heavier taste after heating, absolutely no contact with food.
5.High temperature and aging resistance test
Good silicone resistance**-40℃~230℃, can be used in microwave ovens, ovens, air fryers, and steamer.
Poor silicone will soften, deform, smoke, and smell as soon as it is high temperature. It is not safe for long-term use.
6.Avoid these pits
The price is particularly cheap, three no, no logo, no manufacturer;
The taste is big, and it can't be dissipated after washing it several times.;
It turns white with a pinch, and it is easy to break and slag off.;
Food contact standards cannot be marked, and there is no testing data.
