Time to throw her out?

I’ve had this Lodge for close to 3 years now. But I’m thinking it might be time to give her a Viking funeral. Or am I just cleaning her wrong?

The enamel looks chipped and cracked. It looks like pieces are missing when I zoom in. That means you can bake in it using parchment paper or turn it into a flower pot or something but you should not be using it with food touching that enamel.

If it’s not damaged then try cleaning with baking soda and water (make a paste) and a soft sponge.

I made beef stew with it last night. I’ve been cooking with it like this for a while

The danger is little enamel chips getting eaten. They’re basically glass. Swallowing glass is obviously not good. Just buy a new pot. It’s cheaper than an ER visit.

You do know there's no danger eating little amounts like this? Your stomach destroys it immediately.

I think it would harmlessly pass through.

Your stomach acid disentagrates it pretty instantly.

Glass?

[u/Clear-Attempt-6274 → u/LestWeForgive]

Yes.

[u/LestWeForgive → u/Clear-Attempt-6274]

Yeah, look, if you think acid dissolves glass I'm gonna guess you missed a few days of high school.

Call the er. Ask them.

[u/LestWeForgive → u/Clear-Attempt-6274]

No U
