#AskTamara: How can I make sure my Pizza cutter is Lead-free? Which pizza cutters do you use in your home?

Hello friends!
This probably falls into the range of #OddQuestionsForTheDay… (aka: things I haven’t been asked about yet in all my years of doing this!)

PIZZA CUTTER ADVICE:
- Stick with stainless!
- Avoid plastic handles
- Avoid rubberized handles
- Avoid painted handles
- Avoid enamel (decorations or colors) on handles
- Most important piece of advice: AVOID vintage kitchen utensils!
This is almost the exact pizza cutter we have in our home, it’s lead free and fairly inexepensive on Amazon. This or any that are similar would be good choices from a toxicity perspective!
We also have one that looks like this (although I couldn’t find our exact one on Amazon, one similar to this is a good choice as well.) Ours does not have a painted logo on the side, it has an etched logo – so before you buy, make sure a product like this has no logo or an etched logo!
Have fun shopping & as always, please let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you for reading and for sharing my posts!

This may be another odd question.
Have you ever tested an older electric stove coil burner and/or oven heat element?
Hi Janis!

My Pampered Chef pizza cutter has a brass-colored connector at the center of the wheel. Would you assume it is leaded? If it is, would a swab detect it? Thanks!
Pizza pan help!! Trying to find a no-lead, no-aluminum, no nonstick chemicals— perforated pizza pan. Have you seen one? Is carbon steel safe? We need one asap. The cast iron one we got is too heavy especially for traveling (we have to bring our safe GF pans ).
Thanks in advance!!!!
