US Made, Lead Free Stoneware plus

[Guest guest]

I have recently seen some US Made, Lead Free Stoneware on a website

that already carries a teaching DVD on how to make the basics of

Kefir, Whey and other fermented and nutrient dense foods advocated by

Nourishing Traditions. You can also buy Excalibur dehydrators there

along with some other great items!

Absolutely. Some clays contain lead or any number of other heavy metals.

While I haven't bought any Pampered Chef items, they make a point of stating

all their unglazed lead items are from lead-free clay. Foreign clay can

contain unhealthy levels of lead, so again, every item needs to be verified

as to safety. HTH.

Correction: I meant to say " Pampered Chef items make a point of stating all

their unglazed *clay *items are made from lead-free clay. " Hope that clears

it up because stating it the other way was just plain goofy. LOL. (Thanks

Carolyn for bringing this brain-slip to my attention!!!)
