Sometimes it’s a shame to throw away dishes that have small chips, cracks or other defects.
However, continuing to use such utensils may be hazardous to your health.
As reported by Doctor Peter , pathophysiologist Elena Paretskaya spoke in more detail about this.
The expert drew attention to the fact that damage to dishes affects not only their appearance.
In such a situation, there is a risk that the defective dish may simply burst when filled with hot liquid.
And this in turn is fraught with injuries and burns.
In addition, over time, dark spots may appear in damaged areas, which cannot be removed during washing.
The specialist explained that when damaged, the ceramic part becomes open to “interaction with the world,” including moisture.
And this, she says, becomes a suitable environment for the development of various bacteria.
In addition, the doctor spoke about the danger of damage to the enamel coating of pots.
It is noted that in such a case, the remains of this coating may end up in food.
In this situation, damage also exposes the material from which the dishes are made.
As a result, products can gradually become saturated with heavy metal salts.
Earlier, the doctor explained which foods should not be frozen.
