Introduction
Choosing safe and durable feeding products is one of the most important decisions parents make when introducing solids. With so many materials available, knowing what is truly safe, long-lasting, and baby-friendly can be overwhelming. One of the best combinations emerging in modern mealtime products is Stainless Steel 18/8 paired with Food-Grade Silicone.
In this blog, we’ll explain why this duo stands out — especially when it comes to everyday use with babies and toddlers.
What is Stainless Steel 18/8?
Stainless Steel 18/8 refers to steel that contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel.
This composition offers:
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- High durability
- A clean, non-reactive food surface
In simple terms: it does not rust, it does not absorb flavours, and it does not leach chemicals into food.
Why Pair Stainless Steel with Food-Grade Silicone?
1. Safe for Babies and Toddlers
Both stainless steel 18/8 and food-grade silicone are non-toxic materials.
They are free from:
- BPA
- PVC
- Phthalates
- Microplastics
Meaning your child’s food stays safe and clean.
2. Durable and Long-Lasting
Stainless steel is highly resistant to cracking, breaking, and staining.
Silicone is soft, flexible, and gentle on gums.
Together, they create feeding products that can be used daily and still look new.
3. Temperature Resistant
Both materials can withstand hot and cold temperatures.
This makes them ideal for:
- Freezer storage
- Heating
- Sterilizing
- Dishwasher use
4. Perfect for Self-Feeding
Silicone grips and bases help bowls and plates stay in place, reducing spills.
Stainless steel inserts help maintain food temperature longer.
This combination encourages little ones to explore and feed themselves with confidence.
