Is the inside glaze of the cookware lead and cadmium free?
671649
This question interested me. Here is the answer I found on Le Creuset's Canadian website: "Is Le Creuset lead and cadmium free? Cadmium and lead are two elements under strict control in the cookware industry. Our position today for the entire production process is to be in compliance with California Proposal 65 which is the most rigid standard in the world for these elements (approx. 10 times lower than "acceptable" limits). Lead is NOT used in our recipes and for cadmium a special anti-acid enamel fritt is used which will not release the cadmium pigment during cooking. Cadmium is used for coloration purposes in achieving bright exterior colours such as Flame and Cherry. The interior enamel which makes contact with food is either sand, white, or black."

I sent email to redvanilla.com about this. The answer from them is: "Yes, it is lead and cadmium free."

lead free? probably. Getting a supply of glaze with lead would probably be difficult. If it were some weird, uncommon color, I might be more skeptical. Made in America? doubtful. Anyway, I didn't know this until recently but some of the kiln factories in china are hundreds of years old and quite famous. If your cup has no mention of a kiln, it's not from one of the highly regarded kiln factories. price is indicative.

As far as I know there's no lead, it's cosmetic grade. I made homemade sunscreen from pinterest recipe & so far I love it.

No. So far I've only found Denby, HF Coors, and Homer Laughlin that are lead free and cadmium free. Americans need to be more aware of this subject and demand dinnerware be manufactured here in the U.S.

The bowls are Corelle ceramic - - about as safe as any glass product made. No lead, & BPA is a plastic and metal food can coating problem.

I was worried about lead too. I was just told a lot of glassware has lead, Cadmium or Barium Oxide so I am trying to change my dinnerware and glassware to something safe. Did you try contacting the company to see if their product is free of these items? thanks

They're made in Waterbury, CT. I'm not sure if they contain lead and cadmium but I'm able to microwave them without the pieces becoming too hot to handle. They're very durable. I've knocked them together many times with no chipping or cracking. I love them.

No, it's completely lead free. You wouldn't be able to microwave it otherwise. :)

Sorry they are not marked, I do not know the answer to the questions. Although they are white glaze inside. I have not heard of a lead based glaze, if that helps any.

Hi, Yes it is lead-free, and what a wonderful rice cooker. I broke the lid not long after purching it, but it still cooks the rice excellently. Just follow the strage to me, instructions - lol

I do not think all ceramic is contaminated with lead. Manufacture should aware consumer if is a problem with this cookware set.

Gosh, I've never heard of one made for use in the United State that was made with lead. That was a problem for much older dishes. Lead glaze is still used for other things but not for such that people are to COOK with since it was shown to be dangerous, and I'm pretty sure they made some laws about it.
