Since Lemmy is into junk science fear...Here's a peer-reviewed study showing stainless steel leeches nickel and chromium toxic metals into food.

having a choice between this and microplastics is what makes capitalism so great!

Trials included three types of stainless steels and a stainless steel saucepan; cooking times of 2 to 20 hours

Thats a bit longer than I usually brew my coffee! I use a glass French press though.

The tenth cooking cycle (after 20 hours), resulted in an average of 88 μg of (nickel) Ni and 86 μg of (chromium) Cr leached per 126 g serving of tomato sauce.

#1 If you're cooking tomato sauce for 20 hours, you're doing it wrong.

Adults in the U.S. are estimated to ingest an average of 69 to 162 μg of Ni per day

The average daily intake of chromium in the US population has been estimated at 76 μg while the US FDA recommended daily intake is 120 μg Cr

#2 Even after cooking tomato sauce for 20 hours, the leached amounts were within the daily average intake or recommended daily intake for both nickel and chromium.

Coffee isn't as acid as tomato sauce. Your source is about cooking pasta sauce, not making coffee

☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!

Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!

Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.
