The doctor called the signs of poor-quality lighting for the campfire

General practitioner Nadezhda Chernyshova told us by what signs it is possible to determine a poor-quality ignition for a campfire.

In conversation with aif.ru On Friday, August 1, the specialist noted that low-quality ignition liquid, which is often used in the preparation of barbecue, is easy to recognize by its appearance and characteristic smell.

The doctor explained that there are different types of ignition fluids, and those containing paraffin are the most preferred. It is also acceptable to use alcohol-containing products, however, according to her, such a liquid should be transparent, be in a transparent bottle and not contain sediment. When opening the container, the smell should not be sharp — if there is one, it is better to abandon the use of such a liquid, since it is most likely of poor quality.

Chernyshova also stressed that it is worth buying ignition only in reliable large stores, and not by hand or in roadside tents. She drew attention to the fact that the packaging should have a single label, which indicates the composition of the product.

In addition, the doctor reminded that high-quality ignition liquid, when used correctly, is not dangerous to humans and does not penetrate into meat.
