If there is nothing to do at home, many people will make and knead noodles and then make various kinds of pasta. When kneading the dough, we can use a special silicone kneading pad, which can easily knead the dough, but also according to some rulers on the kneading pad to determine the size of the dough. But after all, it is directly in contact with food, and many people are sure to worry about the safety of the silicone pad. Let’s take a look.
Is the silicone pad safe to knead the surface
Buy regular manufacturers of silicone kneading mat can be assured to use, this general use is food grade silicone material, non-toxic and can be reused. Silica gel has strong adsorption capacity and wear resistance, much better than traditional grass and cloth pads. But there are also some manufacturers will use rubber material manufacturing, rubber material can not be subjected to high temperature, if the temperature is too high, it will lead to the decomposition of harmful gases in rubber. Consumers should avoid it because it can cause dizziness and other symptoms when used or inhaled.
Two, kneading the surface of the silicone pad is good for the body
Silicone kneading pad is a pad made of food-grade silicone material. It is a non-toxic and environmentally friendly material, which will not cause harm to human body. Will not cause human allergies, and will not react with other substances to release toxins. The heat absorption and wear resistance of silica gel material are much higher than that of ordinary materials, and the service life can reach more than 2 years. When encountering high temperature, it will not produce toxic gases or substances. If there is a plastic smell in the kneading pad found in daily use, it means that this mat is not made of silicone, it is likely that the indicators exceed the standard, and it is not recommended to use, even if it is used, it should wait until there is no odor after airing. Silicone materials typically have little to no odor in newly produced products and do not emit an unpleasant odor in any environment after prolonged use.
Three, silicone pad kneading surface sliding how to do
We just need to put the kneading pad on a flat table to knead the dough, and we can do it without shaking in the kneading process. Unless we put the silicone kneading mat on an uneven surface. It can also be used on a glass table. Because the silicone kneading pad has a strong adsorption force, it can prevent sliding when placed on the glass table, and the product will not be sticky. If it’s sticky, we can add a little water to the silicone pad before using it. However, it is best not to take the silicone kneading pad to bake or steamer, easy to damage.
Four, silicone kneading pad use and maintenance
1. Very strong adsorption force, electrostatic adsorption on the table, very stable.
2. Non-toxic and harmless, no odor.
3. There are scale, vertical and level, and concentric ruler, perfect for comparing pizza pan sizes when making pizza.
4. High temperature resistance. It can be used to roast chicken wings instead of tinfoil. Using cleaner won’t stick to oil. The temperature ranges from -40℃ to 230℃.
