Which disposable gloves should I use when handling steak?
The choice of gloves in food processing is not only related to the hygiene and safety of the food, but also to the comfort and efficiency of the staff.
There are 3 types of disposable gloves commonly used in food processing: vinyl disposable gloves, latex gloves and Black nitrile gloves.
There are differences in the application scenarios of these 3 types of disposable gloves. Vinyl disposable gloves are suitable for use in cutting and other aspects of steak, and are not suitable for frying steak while wearing them. Black nitrile gloves and latex gloves do not have this limitation.
Material of Disposable Vinyl Gloves
Vinyl disposable gloves are a kind of gloves made of polyvinyl chloride, it does not contain latex, smooth surface, loose size easy to put on and take off. Disposable vinyl gloves are also suitable for other industries, such as medical and cleaning.
Material of Black Nitrile Gloves
Black nitrile gloves are a type of glove made of synthetic rubber, which also does not contain latex, but fits the hands better than Disposable vinyl gloves and has better puncture and chemical resistance. Black nitrile gloves can change to fit the hand during wear and are resistant to a wide range of chemicals. Black nitrile gloves are more durable and require less frequent glove changes by workers on the job. For employers, it costs less to use Black nitrile gloves.
Material of Latex Gloves
Latex gloves are processed from natural latex and are abrasion resistant, puncture resistant, acid and alkali resistant, etc. As one of the gloves, they are widely used in household, industrial, medical, service, food, beauty and other industries, and are essential hand protection. The material of latex gloves is natural latex, with other fine additives processing. Latex gloves are made of natural latex, and the product has a special surface treatment and is comfortable to wear, which has a wide range of applications in industrial and agricultural production, medical treatment and daily life.
Therefore, when handling steak, you can choose Disposable vinyl gloves, latex gloves or Black nitrile gloves according to your specific needs and preferences. Regardless of the type of glove, it should conform to the principle of food-grade sterilization and be distinguished from the color of the food to avoid the glove breaking and falling into the food without being detected in time.
What kind of disposable gloves should I use when frying steak?
Frying steak should not only pay attention to the quality and doneness of the beef, but also to hygiene and safety. There are two types of disposable gloves to choose from: latex gloves and Black nitrile gloves.
Latex gloves are a type of glove made of natural rubber that is flexible and breathable, fits snugly on the hands and provides a sensitive touch. Latex gloves are also water and oil resistant, protecting hands from hot oil splashes and contamination. Latex gloves are suitable for various industries, such as medical, beauty and food.
Black nitrile gloves are a type of glove made of synthetic rubber that also has good elasticity and breathability, but is more durable and abrasion resistant than latex gloves. Black nitrile gloves are also water and oil resistant, protecting hands from high temperature oil splashes and contamination. Black nitrile gloves are suitable for various industries, such as medical, beauty and food.
So, when frying steaks, you can choose latex or Black nitrile gloves depending on your specific needs and preferences. Regardless of the type of glove, it is important that it meets the principles of food-grade sterilization and that it is replaced and disposed of promptly.
