Are these crocks LEAD FREE?

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.

Hamilton Beach advertised this product as being Stoneware. My research shows "American Stoneware was valued as not only a durable, decorative houseware but as a safer alternative to lead-glazed earthenware pottery produced in America before and during its production there." You should present that question directly to the manufacturer to be sure.

Here's the answer... Nana Betty says she researched the product and it is a safer alternative to lead-glazed earthern pottery. She also says present the question to the manufacturer.

No. It's food grade silicon. No lead. It's water hardness and soap residue. These should never be cleaned with soap.

Yes! Great if you have children and you don't want them exposed to harmful lead, these bowls are lead free.

I would say they dont have any lead in them because they are as light as a feather and leaded glass is heavier. I have never had a problem with them at all.

Im sorry, I don't know if they are lead free. They are nice thou very lite weight so I don"t think they would have lead in them.

I would not be certain they are lead free if they are from China. There was a big to-do years ago when it was discovered that the Polly-Pocket merchandise (interchangeable clothing that felt rubbery like silicone, though I can't say what they were made from) had lead in them. You would think that baking products wouldn't have lead (common sense) but China has different laws in this. I know that certain supplements and naturopathic things from China one ingests may contain lead and may not be labeled.

I read that they are BPA/PVC free but I would double check the company's website to confirm.

I assumed they were lead free because it would have been noted on the package. Check with manufacturer.

I'm very sure they are, I have not noticed any corrosion, I think they are stainless steel and of good quality.

Yes, they are. Wash them by hand and dry immediately or else they could rust. Do not was them in the dishwasher.

I specifically looked for lead free. This was sent to my son, directly, so whether it was stated on the box, I don't know. And, he's thrown it away by now. He loved it, though!!

I assume so. Honestly, I just can't imagine that they'd have lead in them. They are a very quality products & absolutely beautiful. I love them!! I would never knowingly have anything that had lead in the glass to drink out of, of course. This is seemingly an extremely high quality way that the color is made into the glass itself, so there is no paint flaking issues like other brands or products have had.

I don't know. Possibly. I don't think the package says lead free. Ask the manufacturer.

The crock is certainly lead and cadmium free. The glaze is applied to both the exterior and interior of the crock.

The are made in the US. They seem to be high quality solid brass, so I think no lead. I don't know how you can tell for sure without some testing. I don't know why they sell them in pairs, but I'm really happy with mine.
