      Can enamel products be used to hold food?

      In fact, using enamel products to cook food is beneficial to healthy unfavorable.

      As we all know, various enamel products are made by plating a layer of enamel on the surface of iron products. Enamel contains lead compounds such as enamel lead, which is harmful to the human body. If you cook food with enamel products, lead compounds will enter the human body with the food. Therefore, do not cook food with enamel products. Also don't use it to hold acidic foods. Because the main components of the glaze painted on the enamel surface are various metal salts, such as yellow and bright red glazes, which are compounds of cadmium and lead. Both cadmium and lead are toxic. When acidic food is placed, harmful substances such as cadmium and lead will dissolve into the food and cause chronic poisoning of the human body, so it should not be taken lightly.
