P65 Warning on a Llanera

I recently purchased a Llanera for steaming food and only noticed the P65 warning after the fact. Can someone explain what this warning means and whether it’s safe to use for steaming my food?

    The Prop 65 (P65) warning refers to California’s Proposition 65, which mandates that products should have a warning if they contain chemicals known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive harm. In this case, if your Llanera (a type of cooking tray or mold usually made of metal) has a P65 warning, it may contain trace amounts of certain substances linked to such risks.

    As for steaming food with it, many people use kitchenware with P65 warnings without any immediate issues, but it’s always best to take some precautions:

    1. Check the Material: If the Llanera is made of food-grade materials, it is usually safe for cooking.
    2. Clean Thoroughly: Before using it for the first time, ensure that you clean it thoroughly to remove any residues.
    3. Understand the Risks: If you’re concerned about the warning, you might want to look into the specific substances involved, as not all risks are equal and many items have very low levels of these chemicals.

    Ultimately, if you have concerns about the safety of your Llanera, you might consider using alternative cookware that doesn’t carry a P65 warning. Enjoy your cooking!
