Avoid using kitchen utensils

1, Avoid using painted or carved bamboo chopsticks. The paint applied to chopsticks contains chemicals such as lead and benzene, which are harmful to health. Carved bamboo chopsticks may seem beautiful, but they are prone to dirt and bacteria, making them difficult to clean.
2, Avoid using porcelain of various colors as ingredients. It is best to pack the ingredients in glassware. Colorful porcelain contains pathogenic and carcinogenic substances such as lead and benzene. As the colored porcelain ages and decays, the radon in the pattern pigment pollutes food and is harmful to human health.
3, Avoid boiling green beans in an iron pot. Due to the presence of elemental tannins in mung beans, black tannins can form when exposed to iron under high temperature conditions, causing the mung bean soup to turn black and have a special odor. This not only affects appetite and taste, but is also harmful to the human body.
4, Avoid boiling traditional Chinese medicine in stainless steel or iron pots. Due to the presence of various alkaloids and biochemical substances in traditional Chinese medicine, it can undergo various chemical reactions with stainless steel or iron under heating conditions, leading to drug failure and even certain toxicity.
5, Do not use black cypress wood or odorous wood as cutting boards. Wubai wood contains odors and toxic substances. Using it as a cutting board not only pollutes dishes, but also easily causes vomiting, dizziness, and abdominal pain. Therefore, the preferred wood materials for folk chopping boards are white fruit wood, soapwood, birch, and willow.
