Chemical-Free Food Sanitizer
This Chemical-Free Food Sanitizer sanitizes meat, fruits, vegetables, and household surfaces without the use of chemicals. It combines water and O3, a molecule that is purportedly 50% more powerful and begins to work 3,000 times faster than chlorine bleach.
The result is that it kills 99.99% of salmonella and E. coli while reducing pesticide residue on foods in less than four minutes. The sanitizer bowl is roughly the size of a salad spinner and requires only the addition of tap water.
Check price and availability at Hammacher Schlemmer.
“At the touch of a button on the unit’s base, an electrical charge infuses the tap water with O3, cleaning the food during a four-minute cycle. More than just a food sanitizer, the unit comes with a spray bottle that docks in the sanitizer base and oxygenates the contained water in two minutes, allowing you to kill unpleasant odors, eliminate mold and mildew, and clean surfaces in a kitchen, bathroom, or family room. To ensure optimal sanitation, the device has a replaceable cartridge (additional units sold below) that automatically removes humidity from air inside the unit and informs you when a new cartridge is necessary. The base has an LCD that shows time remaining in a cleaning cycle and audible alerts inform you when a cleaning cycle is complete.”
