All kinds of enamel kitchen utensils are made by coating the surface of iron products with enamel, which contains harmful lead compounds such as enamel lead that are harmful to the human body. To ensure the health and safety of your family's diet, Green Kitchenware Network recommends that you avoid using enamel cookware to cook food or to store acidic foods.

This is because the glaze on the surface of enamel kitchen utensils is mainly composed of various metal salts, such as yellow and bright red glazes, which are compounds of cadmium and lead, both of which are toxic. If colored enamel kitchen utensils are used to store acidic foods, toxic substances such as lead and cadmium will dissolve into the food, causing chronic poisoning in the human body. Chronic poisoning is difficult to detect, and by the time it is detected, it is already too late.

Therefore, Green Kitchenware Network reminds once again that when using enamel kitchenware, it is important to pay attention to:
