We've got sets of Indian brass, Korean steel, and Japanese lacquered wood food containers that we use in addition to ceramics and glass. The glass chips, and once it does we tend to avoid using it for food.
Because all of these things last or compound over a lifetime, it's only expensive to be healthful if you wait.
- idiotsecant 3y agoWhat is with putting superfluous place names in front of things? Are you trying to sound fancy? You have steel and wood food containers.
- lostlogin 3y agoThose containers have a shape and style and the place names allow me to visualise what they look like.
- idiotsecant 3y agoNobody else knows what your country of origin status symbol words are supposed to mean, so using them to communicate has one clear motive and it isn't clarity
- cybervaz 3y agonah, you're just being overly reactive about things. You're not contributing to the main topic
- kwhitefoot 3y agoPerhaps no one knows but once it is specified they can at least look them up if they feel inclined.
- ajmurmann 3y agoI didn't know what a Korean steel container looked like, but Google gave me clarity and now I want some.
- jxf 3y agoAmerican cheese is different from other kinds of cheese. Canadian bacon is different from other types of bacon. English muffins are different from other types of muffins. OP isn't trying to be "fancy", they're trying to communicate. This is a weird thing to get agitated about.

- myshpa 3y agoWhat we have here ... is a failure to communicate. (I'll see myself out)
- washadjeffmad 3y agoWhy even be that specific? My matter holders are made of matter.
- JeremyHerrman 3y agoThis reminds me of a scene from the Simpsons [1]: Homer: Hmm. I wonder why he's so eager to go to the garage? Moe: The "garage"? Hey fellas, the "garage"! Well, ooh la di da, Mr. French Man. Homer: Well what do you call it? Moe: A car hole! [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5t9w98afJo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5t9w98afJo
- bombela 3y agoIsn't lacquer technically a sort of plastic? I could find images for Indian Brass Container to learn what it is. But I didn't find anything conclusive for Korean steel.
- BizarroLand 3y agoLacquer is resin from trees, not plastic. I don't know if it's better for you than plastic or really anything about its chemical composition, but it's not plastic. Edit: After reading more, there is an acrylic lacquer that was developed in the 1950s that contains plastics, but outside of that, normal or traditional lacquers are typically biological in origin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacquer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacquer
- ericd 3y agoWhat percentage of lacquers these days do you think is the old natural type? I’d wager it’s very low.
- BizarroLand 3y agoFor mass produced items, I would agree. For stuff made by lone craftsmen & small boutique shops, maybe 50/50? Maybe less?
- BobbyJo 3y agoWhen you say "normal", does that mean "common"? As in, if I buy lacquered wood, can I expect it to be synthetic or biological? Is there a way to tell, or do you just have to trust the source?
- BizarroLand 3y agoBy Normal, I mean "Non-Synthetic" as it regards to lacquers. For the lacquer you buy in the stores, you will have to examine the contents to see if you have actual lacquer or synthetic petroleum lacquers. As far as wood products, if it was made after the early-mid 80's, assume that if it was lacquered it was done so with a synthetic, or if it is some form of manufactured wood. https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1986-11-09-8603240891-story.html https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1986-11-09-860324...
