6 kitchen utensils you need to change regularly

These kitchen utensils and cutlery have their own shelf life. Over time, due to constant use, they can become a source of many bacteria, and they need to be replaced before they completely fail. What should you change in your kitchen today?

1. Silicone baking brush

This device should be replaced every 2 years. Constant contact with the hot baking surface melts the silicone and can remain invisible molecules in your dish.

 

2. Knives 

From any material, the knives should be changed every 7 years. Of course, the better the material, the longer the device can last; fakes cannot boast of durability and quality. In one way or another, a lot of bacteria accumulate in the grooves of knives, which are more and more difficult to wash off in a simple way.

3. Cookware with non-stick coating

The non-stick cookware should also be renewed every 2-3 years. Any scratches on the bottom should be the first signal to get rid of these pots and pans. Food in such dishes will constantly burn, and through damage, harmful substances come to the surface, which are used by unscrupulous manufacturers.

4. Graters and vegetable cutters

Graters and vegetable cutters can last 3-4 years. Firstly, they are dull, and it is impossible to sharpen sharp devices. Particles of thinned metal can enter food, posing a threat to human life and health.

5. Wooden spoons and shovels

Over time, from repeated use, wooden devices begin to exfoliate, change color, and crack. They immediately become a place of accumulation of bacteria, so they need to be changed every 5 years – as often as possible.

6. Cutting boards made of plastic

It is advisable to change such boards at least once every 3 years. Moreover, each plate must correspond to different products – raw and cooked, separately for cutting meat, poultry, vegetables and fruits. In the grooves from the knives, bacteria are sure to grow, which can cause poisoning and feel unwell.
