Moreover, plastic seasoning cans can have a variety of colors, making them perfect for rural style home use. However, plastic materials are not corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant, so their lifespan will not be long.
2、 How to choose a seasoning jar
1. Select materials based on the type of seasoning
The materials of seasoning jars available on the market are diverse, ranging from plastic to glass. Therefore, the material is a very important consideration when purchasing. What material is good for seasoning cans? Please refer to the instructions below to select the appropriate seasoning jar.
(1) Plastic: The preferred seasoning for colorless and light tasting seasonings
A lightweight, user-friendly, and inexpensive plastic seasoning can is most suitable for storing seasonings that do not emit odors and are not easily discolored, such as light colored and flavored seasonings such as Taibai powder and pepper. On the contrary, seasonings with deep colors and strong flavors such as soy sauce or spicy oil are best avoided from being filled with plastic products.
(2) Pottery: suitable for salt and sugar that are easily affected by moisture
Due to the high moisture absorption of pottery, it is perfect for storing salt that is prone to clumping due to moisture. And because it can expel excess moisture, seasonings such as MSG and cod meal are also suitable for placing in pottery seasoning jars, in addition to salt. Sugar or sugar powder, in addition to being caked due to moisture, can also harden sugar crystals due to loss of moisture in excessively dry environments. Glazed pottery seasoning jars can prevent excessive drying or moisture, making them a good choice for storing sugar
(3) Glass or enamel: It is recommended to store spices or cool
Glass, French enamel, and other materials are more resistant to acidity and can inhibit fragrance transfer, making them very suitable for preserving spicy oils, vinegar, and other strong flavors. However, both of these materials are bulky and prone to breakage, so be sure to handle them gently when using them
2. Choose a practical and convenient design
Another key aspect of purchasing seasoning cans is their convenience and practicality. After all, there are a wide variety of seasonings, with suitable containers for liquids, powders, pastes, etc. Don't forget to pay attention to the design aspect when selecting.
(1) Leak proof design: Suitable for liquid seasoning. If you want to store liquid seasoning, it is recommended to prioritize seasoning cans that are not prone to leakage. After all, if the content flows out of the bottle mouth, it will make the dining table greasy and cause a burden of cleaning and cleaning. When purchasing, please carefully pay attention to the shape of the bottle mouth. Choosing products with a specially designed bottle mouth can ensure cleanliness and convenience in use. For example, in the market, the style that liquid can only be poured out when the bottle mouth is pressed at the same time after tilting, the spray type bottle can, or the design that is not easy to spill when pouring, are all suitable for storing liquid condiments. As for viscous liquid seasoning, it is recommended to see if there is a dedicated bottle available.
(2) High airtightness: Used for powder like seasonings such as salt and sugar, which are often prone to hardening and clumping due to the influence of environmental humidity. To prevent this issue, it is best to choose seasoning jars that are moisture-resistant, prevent excessive drying, and have high sealing properties, such as the design with silicone rings, which can effectively suppress seasoning oxidation and odor. However, some products that emphasize sealing may also be difficult to switch on and off, making it inconvenient to use. It is recommended to prioritize styles that can be opened with one hand.
3. Determine capacity and size based on usage
Seasoning jars are divided into storage and dining table use. If used for storage, it is recommended to use 500mL-1L as the standard and choose a style with large capacity and high airtightness. For example, a 1L seasoning jar can store about 700g of sugar or 1kg of salt, and if it has high airtightness, long-term storage is also more reassuring. If considering using it for a dining table, a size of around 300mL is the most suitable. Due to its small size, it is not a hindrance when placed on the dining table, and it is recommended to choose a style with a stable shape as much as possible. This way, there is no need to worry about accidentally hitting it, which may cause seasoning to be scattered all over the table.
4. Another overlooked point in choosing a good cleaning style is to ensure that the seasoning cans you buy are easy to clean. The design of the large bottle mouth facilitates deep internal cleaning, and there is no need to worry about spillage and dirt when adding seasoning. In addition, it can quickly blow after washing, and is relatively hygienic in use. In addition, if exposed parts such as bottle caps or time rings can be removed, details can be cleaned more thoroughly. Remember not to choose styles with overly complex bottle structures, as cleaning is more effortless.
5. It's better to see the content clearly at a glance
If you stock up on multiple seasonings at home, it is recommended to use a transparent or labeled seasoning jar. The transparent bottle body can easily determine whether it is the seasoning needed at the moment, avoiding the trouble of finding the right one. If another label is added, even if it is a seasoning that is difficult to distinguish from the appearance, it can be quickly distinguished, which saves time and is not easy to make mistakes. There are now various seasoning cans with fashionable label designs available on the market, as well as seasoning label stickers sold separately. You can choose the style you like from them.
