Can you cook with galvanized steel?



When galvanized sheet and galvanized steel are used in high temperature environment, the zinc layer on their surface may be spalling phenomenon. This peeling will not only affect the overall appearance of the material, but also may cause certain pollution to the use of the environment. What's more, during the cooking process, if the food comes into direct contact with these peeling zinc layers, the zinc element may react chemically with some of the ingredients in the food.

This reaction may cause changes in the taste, color or nutritional value of the ingredients, and may even produce substances that are harmful to the human body. Therefore, from the point of view of health and safety, galvanized sheet and galvanized steel are not suitable for cooking purposes.


In contrast, stainless steel POTS are a more ideal choice for cooking utensils. Stainless steel POTS are usually chrome plated or porcelain plated surface treatment. Chrome plating can increase the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the stainless steel pot, so that it can remain bright as new during long-term use. The porcelain plating can not only increase the beauty of the pot, but also further improve its non-stickiness and easy cleaning, so that the cooking process is more convenient and hygienic.


To sum up, although galvanized sheet and galvanized steel have their unique application value in some industrial fields, in the field of cooking, their shortcomings make them not suitable for cooking utensils. The stainless steel pot has become the preferred material in the cooking field because of its excellent performance and safety.
