Can traditional chopsticks be washed?

How dirty are the chopsticks at home? How to clean, not moldy, not black, simple, fast and clean? Chopsticks are a kind of kitchen utensils that we often use in our daily life. Basically, it is used for every meal, and it is used frequently. Chopsticks are kitchen utensils that every household has. Chopsticks will turn yellow and even moldy if used for a long time. If chopsticks are not cleaned, it is easy to produce some germs on the surface, such as some helicobacter pylori that we always hear. This kind of bacteria is very easy to stick to chopsticks, and Helicobacter pylori can cause the birth of some gastrointestinal diseases, which can spread slowly through chopsticks, so cleaning chopsticks is a very important thing.

I firmly believe that most good friends will wash chopsticks after using them, but they are difficult to clean and greasy. So how can chopsticks be washed very clean? Today, Bian Xiao will share the skills of cleaning chopsticks with you. Chopsticks cleaned in this way are very clean and clean very quickly.

Step 1: First of all, we need to put the chopsticks that must be cleaned at home into a big basin and add a proper amount of baking soda. Baking soda has a good cleaning effect. Not only can it be used to clean kitchen supplies and kitchenware, but it can also be used to clean vegetables and fruits, and the cleaning effect is particularly good. After adding baking soda, we only need to add a proper amount of white vinegar. White vinegar has a very good bactericidal effect. When these chemicals are mixed together, the cleaning effect will be doubled.

After baking soda is added to white vinegar, there will be many bubbles, which is a normal phenomenon, so don't worry. We just use these bubbles to clean quickly. After adding baking soda and white vinegar, we add a proper amount of boiling water to the basin, soak it for 10 minutes, and then clean the chopsticks until the water is not hot.

The second step, I believe many friends will put chopsticks on their hands when cleaning chopsticks, but they can't be cleaned by hand. What is the correct cleaning method? At present, we use wire brushes commonly used at home. Every chopstick will brush a steel ball. The most important thing is to clean the top of chopsticks one by one. It will take a long time, but it will be clean.

Step 3: After the chopsticks are washed, we wash them with warm water again. Wash away all the baking soda and white vinegar attached to the surface. After cleaning, we take down the wok, add a proper amount of cold water into the wok, then put it on the steamer, put the chopsticks on the steamer, comb it flat, cover the lid, and steam it with high fire 10min. In such a continuous high temperature environment, it can give full play to the role of sterilization and disinfection. After cleaning like that, 99.99% of the germs on chopsticks can be wiped out cleanly.

Chopsticks can't be put away immediately after being taken out of the pot, because there is a lot of water on the surface of chopsticks. We must put them on the slate to dry the water or blow dry them with a hair dryer, because the humid environment is very easy to breed bacteria. In addition, it is best not to use chopsticks for more than three months. Once it's more than three months, you'd better change chopsticks at once.
