Is this pan nickel-free? If not, is it harmful?
2 months ago
The pan is made of stainless steel, which can usually contain up to 10 % nickel. It is therefore very likely that this pan is not completely nickel-free.
Whether this is harmful depends on the individual's sensitivity to nickel. For people with a nickel allergy, contact with nickel-containing stainless steel can be problematic, especially in the case of oral nickel allergy. It is recommended to use pans with special nickel-free coatings such as ceramic or Teflon if you are allergic to nickel, as these offer less contact with nickel.
To summarise: The pan is probably not nickel-free, which can be potentially problematic for nickel allergy sufferers. For people without a nickel allergy, there is no health risk due to the nickel content in stainless steel.
