There are so many kitchen and home appliances that we must use on a daily basis to make our lives easier and it is difficult to avoid using them. Cookware and dinnerware or crockery are two of these essential home and kitchen items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should be concerned about these two household items because they can have a direct impact on your health. The question is, which crockery is best for health?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I respond, let us review the definition of crockery. Crockery refers to the plates, cups, saucers, dishes, and other similar items used at meals, particularly those made of earthenware or china.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT METAL IS GOOD FOR EATING FOOD?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

If you look closely, you’ll notice that stainless steel is used in almost every fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry or where food or drink is produced. Have you ever wondered why this is so?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because stainless steel does not rust and does not leach harmful toxins into our food. They can last a very long time without harming us. For example, 18\/10 stainless steel is a food-safe metal.<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, we believe that stainless steel<\/a><\/span><\/strong> is the best metal for eating food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant alloy of iron, chromium, and, in some cases, nickel and other metals that are recommended as a good option for eating food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IS CERAMIC PLATES GOOD FOR HEALTH?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes!<\/strong> A ceramic plate is suitable for health but we recommend an unglazed 100% ceramic plate<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. Ceramic tableware is non-metallic tableware made of natural materials such as clay, stoneware<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, or terracotta<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ceramic is ideal for health-conscious people because it does not react to cold or hot food and does not emit harmful toxins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHICH CROCKERY IS BEST FOR HEALTH?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"which<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

We recommend three (3) types of crockery for healthy living. They are stainless steel dishes<\/strong>, lead-free glass plates<\/strong>, and unglazed white plain bone china dinnerware<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We say these dishes or plates are best for health because they are free of harmful toxins\/chemicals that can leach into your food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRASS UTENSILS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You’re probably wondering what brass utensils have to do with our health. Brass utensils and cookware, on the other hand, are quickly becoming a must-have kitchen appliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, brass is a copper alloy rather than a metal. We frequently mix up Brass and Bronze. The distinction is that brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, whereas bronze is an alloy of copper and tin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many schools of thought on which is better and safer for health, is it Brass or Bronze? One thing to keep in mind is that the copper in brass is not suitable for preparing acidic foods such as tomatoes, citrus fruits, and vinegar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the presence of copper and zinc in brass, the acidic components of these foods react with copper, resulting in high acidity (based on the PH level in citric-based foods). Excess copper can leach into your food, affecting your health over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lead, on the other hand, is found in Tin, a separate metal that is part of Bronze. This is also bad for our health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you recommend? Do you ask? To begin, we advise against using brass cookware or utensils with acidic foods to avoid copper leaching into your food. Second, as a coating in brass utensils, we recommend using only pure Tin without lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, brass retains approximately 93 percent of the nutrients from the food you cook. Brass cookware cooks more quickly and evenly and retains heat for a period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other benefits of brass include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
