About Diatom:
Diatomaceous earth is naturally occurring sand extracted from the earth. It is made from fossilized remains of microscopic algae known as Diatom and made mainly out of silica compounds.
Advantages:
- Biodegradable - It is made out of the earth and does not harm the environment.
- Water Absorbent - It absorbs water and will evaporate moisture.
- Heat Insulator - Your pot can go from the stove and straight onto this material.
- Odour Absorbent - Diatom is known to use as a deodorant material.
- Anti Bacterial - Since there is no moisture, it's not a suitable environment for bacteria.
Disadvantages:
- Not stain proof - Diatom is great at absorbing ANY liquid, so it will absorb your coffee, sirap, kicap etc. So, be careful if you want to keep it clean.
- Do not submerge - Prolonged water submersion will reduce its ability to absorb moisture in the long run.
