The latest trend in mobile sales , is a swanky looking Airstream, with reverse cycle aircon/ heating , to display both the products inside, and also Airstream travel trailers themselves.
It looked a lot like porcelain, but was sort of drop proof.
One day I opened a British textbook and discovered that Melamine was short for Melamine Formaldehyde.
I'm not sure if I want my hot food coming into contact with formaldehyde.
Do you end up sort of embalmed , slowly ?
Ceramics have a high aluminium contact, due to geological processes.
So the guys in the factories that make porcelain plates , mugs, cups and bowls, are possibly breathing in aluminium fumes in some form.
Polycarbonate is 200 times as strong as glass, way cheaper to make and transport, and is chemically inert.
Stainless steel, has nickel, not sure if that's a health issue.
Copper is very poisonous, and so I probably wouldn't cook in a copper pot.
In the old days, copper sheets were screwed to the doors that divided hospital wards;
the theory was that staff would push on the spring loaded swing door, and that any pathogens on their hands that were deposited on to the door surface, would perish from copper poisoning.
As late as 1825, the French were still sheathing the roofs of their chateaus with copper.
Someone should do a research project to see what effects, if any , there was from drinking water collected off of a copper roof.....
Same goes for brass.
Deep frying with a basket made of brass wire is therefore, probably somewhat ill advised.
The Brits invented corrugated galvanised steel roof sheeting in about 1820.
When zinc is mined, you often get lead with it.
So possibly a lot of old gal steel roof sheeting has been sending lead into drinking water tanks ( also made of gal steel sheeting, put through a machine that makes it curved. )
Aluminium cookware and alzheimers, well, autopsies on patients that have died from alzheimers, have found aluminium in the brain, where there should be magnesium, so, I guess up the magnesium in your diet to counteract the effects ( sunflower seeds, cocoa, coffee, and did I mention cocoa ? ) ( see wot I did there ) ( ? )
Iron cookware will give you a dose of iron.
iron overdosing will make you quite ill.
Steaming your food in an iron pot is prob safe enough.
Campfire cooking will release some gases from the rocks that surround the campfire, and from the rocks under the firewood.
Firewood from trees growing in bauxite mining country, have a higher aluminium content.
So campfires in far north Qld come with inherent risks.

Because there be a fine line betwixt genius and insanity.
What is this monstrosity John

And giant travel trailers are not a new idea...

you are truly a man of great knowledge john! sounds like we're screwed whichever way haha
No, I'm not that smart.
My brother is smart.
He got first class honours in Medicine, top of his class.
Read moreYes. None of this hipster nonsense.
That said, I do like a wire basket of chips.
It's cute and all, but I don't see that as being the most sanitary option in serving.
yes, defo some 'style-over-sanitation' decisions going down in restaurants!
Plates for all and all for plates, I say. I still think the worst one I saw on #WeWantPlates was the bangers and mash or spag bol in a pint pot... ew.
Agreed!! My fave is meat on a clipboard.. it’s so wrong wewantplates.com/2017/12/meat-on-a-clipboard/
Hahahaha I really can't deal with that.
