RichCat 山羊居: How to dry steam the mask 電鍋乾蒸消毒口罩

Video 影片:

Due to a shortage of masks, you can "dry steam" and reuse it about 2 more times. The virus can be killed over 56C (122F).

However, the function of the mask will be reduced by about 2% each time you dry steam. Therefore, not recommend doing this for more than 2 times.

How to dry steam your mask:

1. Rice cooker (Ta-Tung cooker that bought from Walmart online, or any cooker you have that can do the dry steam)

2. No water at all

3. put the steam rack (very important) into the cooker.

4. put the mask on a plate (not plastic ones) or in the inner pot.

Do NOT put the mask into the cooker directly. The high heat will melt the mask. Need rack and plate (or inner pot)

5. the side of the mask that touches your mouth should be face-up

6. cover the lid and push the button to start.

7. it will take about 2.5 minutes to complete the "dry steam"

8. After it is done, do NOT open the lid. Let it sit for another 5 minutes.

9. open the lid and pick the thread of the mask (don't touch the mask itself, very hot), put the mask on a clean paper towel to cool down.

10. Do NOT touch the plate and rack yet. VERY hot.

Remember, the dry steam will reduce the function each time. So, better not steam it too many times. Twice is maximum.
