Much is said about lead and crime rates, I’m wondering about the more mundane things.

    From my reading on the subject, vintage corningware baking dishes have high levels lead in the glazes used for the colored patterning. They seem to consistently test negative for lead on the white surfaces used for cooking.

    Lead can get into your food as those colored patterns wear off, and the dishes get washed. It is a danger, but corningware isn’t directly marinating your food with lead.

    Lead is still in many kitchen products. Its mainly in paints and colored glazes, and other coatings. Though corningware is bad, there are many other sources of lead in many other parts of the kitchen.
