01 Glass microwave lunch box
The microwave lunch box made of glass material has no safety issues. It uses high-temperature resistant glass, which can withstand high temperatures up to 500-1000 degrees Celsius. The glass material also has good microwave penetration and heating speed.
In addition, the physical and chemical properties of the glass material are stable, and it can also be used in the microwave oven for a long time, such as cooking dumplings, wonton, noodles and so on.
02 Ceramic microwave lunch box
Ceramic materials are also heat resistant and suitable for use in microwaves. It should be noted that ceramic containers decorated with gold and silver wire may produce sparks when used in the microwave, so it is not recommended to use them.
The common disadvantage of both glass and ceramic lunch boxes is that they are relatively heavy.
03 Plastic microwave lunch box
We still have reservations about plastic products. If a microwave lunch box is made of plastic, it must be made of PP (polypropylene), which is recognised as the safest and most heat-resistant plastic product. Good quality PP can withstand temperatures of 140 to 150 degrees Celsius or more and can be used for microwave heating.
However, it is not suitable for heating food with a high oil content, as the temperature of the oil after heating can reach 180 degrees Celsius or even higher, and absolute safety cannot be guaranteed at such high temperatures.
In summary, these three types of lunch box each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and consumers can weigh their choices based on their own needs and preferences. For example, if you need a lightweight and portable lunch box, you can choose a plastic lunch box; if durability and environmental friendliness are important, stainless steel lunch boxes may be more suitable; glass lunch boxes are more suitable for consumers who value health and environmental protection and have specific requirements for food temperature. At the same time, it is also very important to pay attention to the material, safety, insulation and environmental friendliness of the lunch box.
