As long as you cook at home, seasoning is an essential thing. So, as a container for seasoning, seasoning cans naturally occupy an important position in the kitchen in daily life. As a non seasoned and non professional chef, I have also made some mistakes on the road to purchasing seasoning cans. I would like to share my experience with everyone.
First, let me talk about the overall principles of selection:
1. Material:
Commonly seen are glass, ceramics, stainless steel, plastics, etc. Generally, glass and ceramic materials are preferred. These types of seasoning jars have high transparency and are easy to clean. Although glass is fragile, it is actually rare to encounter situations where seasoning jars can be broken; Stainless steel seasoning cans are the most durable, but they are not transparent and cannot visually see the excess seasoning. It feels that the pressure is generally not as good as the appearance of glass; The advantage of plastic material is that it is lightweight, but its safety and durability are not as good as glass, so I rarely choose it now.
2. Capacity:
The capacity is generally based on the different situations of each household. A large capacity does not require frequent addition, but you need to consider that if the time is too long, it may affect the quality of seasoning. If the capacity is small, the situation is exactly the opposite. Seasoning can ensure a certain freshness, but needs to be added frequently. My family is a normal four person family, and the capacity of the seasoning can I have chosen is 350ml, adding 200-300ml at a time.
3. Appearance design:
Appearance is the key to combat effectiveness. It's best to choose a seasoning jar based on your kitchen's decoration style and use different colors to distinguish the types of seasonings. You can choose a suitable design based on your preferences and kitchen decoration style.
4. Performance:
I think the sealing performance of the seasoning can is the most important. Excellent sealing performance can ensure the freshness and moisture resistance of the seasoning, which is very important in the kitchen environment. On the other hand, some seasoning jars come with small spoons, measuring cups, etc. for easy use.
5. Brand and price:
Choosing seasoning cans from well-known brands provides relatively guaranteed quality and after-sales service. For example, when I bought a seasoning jar and used it for three months, I found that a silicone ring on the lid was broken. The manufacturer directly sent me a new lid.
6. Cleaning and maintenance:
Convenient cleaning and maintenance are also important. No one wants a high value seasoning jar that they bought at a high price to become old, dirty, and difficult to maintain after a short period of use.
