An oil pot is an appliance used to hold oil in the kitchen, also called an oil bottle. The use of oil pots can help us better control the amount of oil poured, so many families will buy oil pots. When buying an oil pot, you need to consider the material of the oil pot. There are four common oil pot materials:
1, glass oil pot
Advantages: durable, beautiful, environmentally friendly, safe, and fuel consumption can be seen at a glance.
Disadvantages: easy to break.
2, plastic oil pot
Advantages: cheap, not afraid of bumping, not easy to damage.
Disadvantages: inferior materials will release harmful substances, so it is best not to use them.
3, stainless steel oil pot
Advantages: corrosion resistance, firmness and durability.
Disadvantages: opaque, can not see the amount of oil used.
4. Ceramic oil pot
Advantages: healthy and beautiful.
Disadvantages: easy to break.
Among the above four materials, except for plastic oil pots, the other three oil pots are very easy to use. You can choose the oil pot with suitable material according to your own needs.
2. Is it better to use glass or stainless steel for the oil pot?
Glass and stainless steel are two common materials in the selection of household oil pots, so which is better, stainless steel or glass?
Generally speaking, stainless steel oil pan is more recommended than glass oil pan, because glass oil pan is safer and healthier. Although the stainless steel oil pot is strong and not afraid of falling, it has a disadvantage that the metal molecules of stainless steel accelerate the rancidity and deterioration of edible oil, so it is better to use a glass oil pot if there is a choice.
Third, why not suggest using a plastic oil pot?
Many friends use plastic oil pots at home, or simply use the original bottled cooking oil they bought. In fact, this is not very good, because the temperature near the kitchen stove is relatively high, which makes it easier for the plasticizer in the plastic oil pan to precipitate, which affects the state of edible oil and accelerates the changes such as rancidity of edible oil. Eating this oil often may also pose a threat to health.
Therefore, it is recommended to choose an oil pot made of ceramic or glass with certain shading. If you are used to using plastic oil jugs, clean them frequently and replace them regularly.
