Stainless steel cookware is a popular choice among many households due to its durability, ease of maintenance and cleaning, and cooking performance.
Stainless steel is an alloy composed of various elements such as Iron, Chromium or Nickel. Not all the types of stainless steel cookware are the same because stainless steel is categorized into different grades based on its chemical composition and properties. Some of the most commonly used types of stainless steel in Malaysia's market are stainless steel 201, 304, and 316.
However, the presence of Nickel in some stainless steel cookware can pose health risks. The percentage of Nickel in stainless steel can vary depending on the specific grade or type of stainless steel being used.
What is Nickel?
Nickel is a metallic element that is commonly used in the production of stainless steel cookware to enhance its properties and improve its corrosion resistance.
When Nickel comes into contact with certain substances or conditions, such as acidic foods or high temperatures, it can leach into the food and cause a chemical reaction that can be harmful to human health, as it is known to cause allergic reactions in some people, and prolonged exposure to Nickel can lead to serious health problems such as respiratory issues, skin problems, and even cancer.
This is why it is important to take appropriate precautions to minimize your risk such as choosing cookware that is Nickel-free or has a non-reactive coating to prevent Nickel from leaching into your food.
Why Nickel-Free?
Using Nickel-free stainless steel cookware, such as the Qware Stainless Steel Sandwich Bottom Series, eliminates the risk of Nickel exposure and associated health risks.
Qware Sandwich Bottom Series constructed by tri-ply stainless steel that incorporates High Corrosion Resistance 21CT stainless steel, thick Aluminium core, and magnetic stainless steel.
