Lead Safe Mama, LLC’s February 2024 Affiliate Links for Lead-Free Choices Part 2: Knives and Blenders!

Published: February 25, 2024

People ask me about knives (and blenders!) quite a bit.
–
This is my favorite knife brand (I have used knives from this brand for nearly four decades now): Aflink https://amzn.to/3TajnYV. In general any knife choice that is all stainless should be Lead-free. The markings on these knives are also Lead-free (since I get that question a lot)! In addition to being Lead-free, a knife from this brand saved me from being attacked by a drunken group of teenage Corsican soccer players on a freighter between Corsica and Marseille, France back in April 1990… so there is more than one reason I have a fondness for this brand! (I will try to write that story up some day!) This is similar to the knife I used to ward off my would-be attackers that day (in case you are curious): https://amzn.to/3UT41tb.

While we are on the topic of things I rarely recommend… below are links to my two top picks for Lead-free blenders. Please note, modern/ currently-sold counter top appliances that plug-in to the wall typically have high amounts of Antimony in the cords (as part of the flame-retardant chemical cocktail in the plastic of the cords). This is why I rarely recommend these types of products (because, while they may be Lead-free, they are not 100% free of toxicants). If you buy a product like this (any heavy duty plug in appliance), it is best to leave it (safely) plugged in on your counter (so you don’t have to touch the electrical cord when cooking) OR — alternately — to wash your hands after touching the cord and before cooking (with soap and a washcloth if possible). Antimony is a known carcinogen (added to the list of known carcinogens in the U.S. in 2021).
