    I thought a lot of cheap silverware had a coating to keep it from rusting. I have no idea where I got that idea and when I try to look up info about it they’re trying to sell me stuff to protect my actual silver so I could be wrong.

    If I’m right then heating it up would burn that shit off and you’d be inhaling it.

      Never heard of that, it’s not like stainless steel cutlery is that expensive. I notice my stainless steel knives have slowly worn down, I think anything with a coating wouldn’t pass food grade laws.

        Like I said, I’m not sure where I got that idea. Could have been about the cheap pot metal ones back in the 90s. Could have been someone lying trying to keep me from doing crack out of a spoon. All the old people in my family were sure crack and gangs (code for black people, I think) coming to our little town in the middle of nowhere. They should have been concerned about alcoholism and meth, which were already there. That’s why I laid out my disclaimer.
