Patterned Porcelain Bowls
Porcelain bowls with patterns painted on their surface.
The glaze on these bowls contains colorants that can cause food contamination when exposed to high temperatures, which can further affect the health of the user. Most manufacturers choose inexpensive chemical colorants that contain heavy metals like mercury, lead, and cadmium to optimize costs.
Therefore, it is advisable to select bowls with submerged glaze or white bowls as they are not susceptible to external influences and heavy metal release.
You can check the quality of good porcelain bowls by lightly tapping the rim with your mouth. Porcelain with high heat resistance is harder, has a more beautiful color, and makes a crisp sound. If the sound is dull, it means the porcelain has low heat resistance and is not recommended for purchase.
Stainless Steel Bowls
Stainless steel bowls with double insulation layers, resistant to breaking, are favored by many users. However, stainless steel bowls are not suitable for storing acidic foods such as orange juice, tomatoes, or lemons, or foods with strong alkalinity like baking soda due to their corroding nature, which can be harmful to human health if used frequently for a long time.
Many stainless steel bowls available on the market today may contain heavy metals. It is also advisable not to scrub stainless steel bowls with a scrubber to avoid scratching them.
Bowl without a Base
Bowls without a base are a popular choice for many people as they do not take up space and can be stacked on top of each other. However, bowls without a base are less practical. When eating, they can be inconvenient due to their slippery surface and can cause breakage when hot. Therefore, users need to consider this before making a purchase.
