Can convenient hot pot produce carbon monoxide?
Instant hot pot is a kind of self-heating food, which is especially suitable for a person who wants to eat hot pot, and he can eat steaming hot pot in ten minutes!
There is a special food heating bag inside, which is the key to hot pot heating. It's not high-tech products, it's quicklime! We all know that quicklime heats up when it meets water.

With the continuous discharge of steam, the hot pot can be finished in about 10 minutes!
"Self-heating food" has a heating bag at the bottom. The main components are roasted diatomite, iron powder, aluminum powder, coke powder, activated carbon, salt, quicklime and sodium carbonate.
Adding cold water to react, the temperature can reach above 150℃, the steam temperature can reach 200℃, and the heat preservation time can last up to 3 hours. The glass table of Sichuan young man exploded because the highest temperature at the bottom of instant hot pot can reach 96℃, and ordinary glass is a poor conductor of heat. When one side is exposed to high temperature, uneven stress is more likely to cause glass to break.
The self-heating packaging of self-heating food will heat up immediately within 3 to 5 seconds after encountering water. After heating, it can reach above 150℃, and the steam temperature can reach 200℃, which is very easy to cause burns. If the ventilation is not good, it will cause an explosion. However, insufficient combustion of coke powder, activated carbon and other substances in the heating package will produce carbon monoxide.
