Common tableware material
Ceramic tableware
Ceramics have been widely recognized as non-toxic tableware and reports of poisoning of porcelain tableware. It turns out that some of the beautiful outerwear (glaze) of porcelain tableware contain lead. If the temperature is not enough when the porcelain is burned or the glaze ingredients do not meet the standard, the tableware may contain more lead. When selecting porcelain tableware, use the index finger to gently slap on the porcelain. If it can make a crisp, squeaky sound, it indicates that the porcelain embryo is delicate and burnt well. If the sound is dumb, it is porcelain damaged or porcelain. The embryo is inferior.
Wooden tableware

Therefore, it should be noted that it should not be used for salt, soy sauce or vinegar for a long time.
