Does the ceramic part contain lead?

No mention of lead in the user manual, but ceramic pots "might" contain lead. Visit this link and decide for yourself. http://tinyurl.com/bp9eqg2

Im on the search for a lead free slow cooker. I called the company and they claim the ceramic pot, and enamel/glaze on the pot are lead free. Ive also read blogs and comments of other women calling and getting the same answer, and even doing their own lead test at home, that showed negative results for lead.

I called the Cuisinart customer service line and asked this question. They said that even though this product is made in China, it is made to FDA standards and does not contain any lead in the glaze.

Mine is currently in use, thus I cannot look at the bottom or inside of it, but the product description says: "The crock is 100% lead free vitrified porcelain." We've been using our for several years and no signs of lead poisoning yet. (some delirium and lots of insanity however).

I don't think any stainless steel contains lead. Also I think it would be illegal to sell food grade items with lead in them (you'll notice expensive stainless steel flatware doesn't mention being lead free as a selling point.). I'll also note that this isn't some random brand, I have seen it used in actual restaurants (noticed after I purchased).

Absolutely yes. I just checked the package label to be certain. Further, I do not know of any jig not made of lead. If there are, the manufacturer would probably point that out.

I specifically looked for lead free. This was sent to my son, directly, so whether it was stated on the box, I don't know. And, he's thrown it away by now. He loved it, though!!

NO. At least, one product reviewer states the package states: "Note: the brass in this product contains lead.""wash hands after handling."

Certainly, I am not the manufacturer so obviously, only the manufacturer can give you a true answer to your question. However, I do know the teapot is made from borosilicate glass and to the best of MY knowledge, borosilicate glass does not contain lead. It is widely used in lab equipment. BTW.. the company Grosche that manufacture the teapots is from Canada. I strongly suggest you contact them directly at sales@grosche.ca to get a reliable answer.

Great question. I wasn't aware that it may contain lead. I'll be getting rid of it if that's true.

Unfortunately, no. This particular item is manufactured in China, but it does not contain lead. Still, don't let the country of origin dissuade you from purchasing this dutch oven. It is a very serviceable pot, and has performed very well for me over the years.

Dave - US Federal regulations, prohibit lead and cadmium use in any materials that comes in contact with food. Coatings must be formulated from material that have are listed in 21CFR170(b). Neither lead, cadmium nor any heavy metal is approved as "Generally Recognized As Safe" Imported cookware can be an issue, especially from China as China tends to ignore US safety conditions. The Ceramica used by Cuisinart is manufactured in Italy and meet all US and EU safety codes according to the Ceramica website.

Yes, it does. Not sure what part of the tank has lead in it, but there is a distinct warning. Debating sending mine back due to this not being stated in the product description.

I'm pretty sure that no Pyrex glass contains lead. My understanding is that the only (drinking) glass you'd find lead in is crystal.

No lead and yes it will 5 gal jug. ceramic part will hold 3 gal of the 5 gal so you could put more in it if you are tall and strong enough

I would not think that they contain lead. They were not made in a third world country. I love the glasses. Brings back memories of the ones we used while I was growing up.

The entire set is lead-free. Unfortunately I have no answer to the second part of your question. In overall - it is excellent dinnerware for every day or for special occasions.
