Silicone accessories have won the trust of modern housewives and continue to strengthen their position. But it turns out that we don’t know much about him. Why is silicone called the material of the XXI century? What are its main advantages? Is it dangerous for your health? All that is important to know about kitchen silicone accessories, experts of the popular German brand Fackelmann tell in detail.
A few words about silicone
First of all, let’s figure out what silicone is. In fact, it is a synthetic rubber, which is obtained from silicon processed by a special technology (it is part of sand, stones, clay) and carbon. As you can see, there are no dangerous chemical elements that adversely affect the body. Naturally, silicone does not affect the taste, benefits and quality of food in any way.
Due to its special properties, silicone dishes can be used in different temperature conditions of a wide range: from about -40 to 250°C. Thus, silicone is suitable not only for heat treatment, but also for storing frozen food. By the way, when exposed to permissible high temperatures, it does not emit absolutely no odors and even more toxic substances. And silicone calmly tolerates contact with an acid-base environment.
Another undoubted plus — silicone accessories do not absorb foreign odors and are quite resistant to scratches. They retain their original appearance and working properties for a long time. Special care and special detergents are not required for them. Any dirt can be easily removed in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher.
A container of limitless possibilities
Silicone dishes are not just all kinds of baking dishes. Food containers made of silicone delight with their functionality no less. A vivid proof of this is the folding silicone containers created by Fackelmann together with the Julia Healthy Food Near Me brand. The new product line is also dedicated to them. These are high-end food containers that reliably keep the shape in working condition and fold up to 3 cm in height when stored. In this way, you significantly save space in the closet or bag.
The well-designed cover with four lock&lock side valves guarantees high tightness. Therefore, you can safely carry soups, second courses with gravies and liquid porridges in the container. In addition, the lid itself is translucent, which makes the use of the container much more convenient. The silicone valve in the center allows you to heat food in the container directly with the lid. As a result, the contents do not spill out, and the microwave remains clean inside.
If desired, you can store frozen food in the container: minced meat, vegetables, mushrooms, fresh herbs or berries. It easily tolerates low temperatures up to -20°C, carefully preserves the shape and texture of products, taste and useful properties.

And there are finger holes at the bottom to make it easier to turn over a full bucket.

It can be leaned against the wall or pushed under the kitchen cabinet. Another practical option is to hang it on the wall. Especially for this purpose, a convenient eye with a hole is made on the edge of the bucket.
