When it comes to tableware and cooking utensils, it’s important to choose safe materials like glass, ceramic, porcelain, and stainless steel. Avoid using melamine, a material that has been linked to serious health issues in both pets and humans.
Melamine has been found in plastic food contact items like cups and plates, as well as in kitchen utensils. This material is not safe for use in microwaves or with hot foods, as it can release harmful chemicals into your food. Ingesting melamine can lead to kidney function deterioration and other health problems.
Polyamide utensils, like black plastic spoons, can also pose risks. These utensils may contain chemicals that can leach into food, especially at high temperatures. Consider using wooden or stainless steel utensils instead to avoid potential contamination.
