Myth: Tableware can be disinfected by scalding it in boiling water

Fact: Many people are accustomed to scalding dishes and chopsticks in boiling water to disinfect them before going out for dinner. But this is nothing more than "psychological comfort." Using boiling water to scald tableware, due to insufficient heating temperature and time, is often not guaranteed to kill most pathogenic microorganisms. At most, its function is to wash away floating dust.
