Today, many people choose to bring their lunch to work instead of eating out. This not only helps ensure food safety, but also provides a delicious, nutritious, and economical lunch. However, you need to keep in mind some of the harmful habits below to make your meal truly safe.
Do not cook rice and leave food overnight when bringing lunch to work
Some women have a habit of cooking rice and food in the evening and then leaving it in refrigerator take it out in the morning to reheat and pack it in a box to take to work. This habit is extremely harmful to health. Because rice and food left overnight will lose nutrients. Scientists recommend that eating overnight food frequently causes the risk of cancer.
In the morning, you should try to wake up a bit early and put the rice cooker on. When you finish preparing everything, the rice will also be done. As for the food, you can prepare the ingredients in advance and get up early to cook in the morning. You should cook simple dishes to save time.
Do not put rice or food into the container while it is still hot
Many people are afraid that rice and food will become cold by lunchtime, so while the rice and food are still hot, they rush to put them in a container and seal the lid tightly to keep them warm. However, they do not know that doing this causes moisture to accumulate in the food, creating a favorable environment for bacteria to grow, making the food spoil much faster. If we eat it, we will suffer from digestive disorders and intestinal diseases.
Therefore, after cooking, you should wait for the rice and food to cool down before putting them into the container. Some companies provide microwaves for employees to use. If you want to eat hot food, you should heat it up in the microwave before eating. If the company does not have a microwave, you should buy yourself an insulated lunch box to store it, so that the rice and food do not spoil, and retain their flavor and warmth from morning until noon.
Do not use poor-quality plastic containers to pack lunch
Some people often reuse disposable plastic food containers from restaurants to pack their lunches, or use poor-quality plastic containers. If we put hot food in these containers, it causes melting and releases toxic substances that seep into the food. In addition, poor-quality plastic containers cannot withstand microwave temperatures, so when you reheat food, the melting plastic is harmful to health. This is also one of the causes of cancer, meningitis, acute poisoning, etc. You should use glass containers, ceramic containers, or heat-resistant plastic containers to store food, as it is safer.
Avoid bringing foods with high water content and grease
Watery and greasy foods, such as pork trotters stew and bone-in root vegetable soup, are very good for your health. However, you should only consume these dishes at home. This is because foods with high water content and a layer of oil serve as a favorable environment for bacteria to multiply. Especially when the cooked food is packed in a container from morning until noon and shaken up during your commute to the office, bacteria will proliferate even more.
Do not pack food together with rice
Some women often have the habit of mixing food with rice to save space in their lunchbox. In reality, under normal conditions, rice spoils after 5 hours. Therefore, if you mix food with rice, it will spoil even faster. Especially, watery dishes like stir-fries with a lot of liquid mixed with rice will quickly breed bacteria and pathogens. It is safest to keep the rice separate and put each type of food in its own container.
Please note and avoid harmful habits when bringing lunch to work to protect your own health.
