To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of silicone utensils from Dongguan Huang's Rubber & Plastic Technology Co., Ltd., proper storage is essential. First and foremost, it is crucial to make sure the utensils are completely dry before storing them. Any residual moisture can lead to the growth of mold or mildew, especially in the crevices and handles of the utensils. One of the best ways to store silicone utensils is to use a utensil holder or crock. Place the utensils with their handles facing up, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This allows air to circulate around them, preventing the buildup of moisture and bacteria. If space is limited, hanging the utensils on a wall - mounted hook or a pegboard is also a great option. This not only keeps the utensils organized but also makes them easily accessible while cooking. When storing multiple utensils together, it is advisable to separate them with dividers or place a soft cloth between them to prevent scratching and damage to the surfaces. Avoid storing silicone utensils in drawers with sharp metal utensils, as the metal can scratch the silicone, compromising its non - stick properties and overall appearance. For long - term storage, consider using a dedicated container or a storage bag made of a breathable material. This protects the utensils from dust and dirt while allowing air to reach them. Additionally, store the utensils away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as prolonged exposure to heat and UV rays can cause the silicone to become brittle and discolor over time. By following these storage practices, you can keep your silicone utensils in excellent condition, ready to assist you in the kitchen for years to come.
