QUESTION:
Could my old casserole crock pot have a lead content that makes it unsafe to cook in?
06 Jul 2002, Arizona USA I have an old casserole pan made out of crock that was made in the early 1900s. It has no coatings on it. Do you think it has a lead content that makes it unsafe to cook in? Food cooked in it tastes so good and potatoes get a wonderful crust. Thank you. |

ANSWER:
07 Jul 2002 Dear Madam, the only way to know for sure would be to test it. You can use a spot test kit for this eg Lead Check by Hybrivet, available at US supermarkets. Good luck - I hope it's lead free. Those potatoes sound yummy! Yours sincerely Elizabeth O'Brien |
