Service Background

Glass food containers are tableware with surface - processed treatments. Glass tableware is clean and hygienic. Its manufacturing process involves high - temperature treatment, so it has relatively high safety performance. However, the drawback of glass tableware is that it is fragile, and if used improperly, it is prone to bursting.

Currently, the popular glass tableware on the market can be mainly divided into three categories: ordinary glass, tempered glass, and heat - resistant glass. Any material has a certain range of safe use. Containers that can hold food at room temperature may not be suitable for use in a high - temperature environment in a microwave oven.
