Also, cheap glaze rubs off with the softest of scrubbing. I remember begging my grandmother to stop using her cheap boil-in coffee pot. Cheap glaze wore down, then the paint, then the metal of the pot. Aluminum just leeching into all the coffee. Didn't matter, she loved the flavor. The replacements I got her were used once because she loved me, then relegated to the cupboard. She had really bad alzheimer's by the end. I'll never know if any of the cheap dishes and pits/pans('teflon' coatings etc), but it's always made me super paranoid about this stuff, I bought some testing kits tonight after reading all this.
