What You Should You Know about Nickel and Chromium in Cookware
Stainless steel cookware is known to contain nickel, iron, and chromium. Can these elements leach into your food during cooking?
Let’s find out.
The nickel in all stainless steel dinnerware is responsible for the ductility, formability, and weldability of the apparatus. When a high amount of nickel is ingested orally, it may cause dermatitis in people who are allergic to it.
Can this metal get into your food?
Provided that you are using a prestigious brand like HOMI CHEF, the chance is low. As for HOMI CHEF’s nickel-free cookware range, you are safe.
On the other hand, the overdose of chromium may result in low blood sugar, stomach diseases, and even cancer. Chromium 6 becomes a carcinogenic fume during the welding process of stainless steel.
The good news is that a kitchen stove is not powerful enough to turn your fry pan into a cancer machine!
However, the possibility of getting metal poisoning and leaching from average stainless steel kitchenware remains. This leaching occurs through wear and tear in the pots, especially by acidic food, such as tomatoes, vinegar, ketchup, beef, canned fruits, dairy, corn, bacon, etc.
Here is a list of acidic food you should avoid using on stainless steel materials. Take a good look at this list to be on the safe side.
In summary, people with a nickel allergy should buy cookware that is nickel-free (whether it is stainless steel or not), and everybody, replace your stainless steel pots and pans when you see scratches and signs of erosion.
Frequently Asked Questions

What Is So Great about Stainless Steel Cookware?
Honestly, what’s not!

The brand recommends seasoning the saute pans and frying pans before using it, that is by applying oil or butter. This will minimize the chance of sticking.
We also don’t want you to cook at high heat. You won’t have to anyway with the HOMI CHEF appliances. The maximum heat you should use is 120C or 248F.
