Brilio.net - Silicone cutlery is currently increasingly popular with many people. This is because silicone has many advantages that make it a practical and efficient choice. Moreover, silicone cutlery is fairly durable.
The advantages of silicone cutlery include its non-stick properties , dishwasher safe, and flexible easy to store. In addition, silicone cutlery is also resistant to extreme temperatures, both very cold and very hot, making it ideal for a variety of kitchen needs.
However, if you use silicone cutlery, you may notice that it tends to absorb odors after a few uses. Silicone food containers often retain strong odors from ingredients like garlic and onions in cooking.
The strong odor can stick to the silicone, making it difficult to remove even after washing. This can be a problem, especially if you frequently use the equipment for various types of cooking.
But don't worry, because there is a trick that can be practiced to wash rancid silicone food containers. The method was shown by Instagram user @rumah.kamali. In his video upload, he was seen taking out some of his silicone food containers that were full of stains and smelled bad.
