problem with plastic whisk?!


Question: Problem with plastic whisk?
so i have this plastic whisk for three years now, and i love it! but i broke it last night. so i repaired it with molten plastic and its good a new. but im worried i it will cause any poisoning. what will i do? do i have to soak it in saltwater overnight or something? any solutions? and i dont want to buy a new one because i have no money. im just a teenager with a small allowance. tnx. :))

Answers:

The whisk itself is probably ok but where did you get the "molten plastic" you used? It sounds like you added plastic to fix the break much like one might use glue to fix other things.

Plastics intended for use with food have to meet specific requirements for food safety. Other plastics do not and no amount of soaking will fix that.

Suggestions for free or low cost replacements:

check out to see if you have a freecycle group in your town (www.freecycle.org). Perhaps a neighbor has a whisk they no longer need. You could also try the local dollar stores or even the thrift shops.

Hope that helps!



Avoid plastic if at all possible. Especially around food and cooking.
Use a wooden stick? That's free.

Who want's more talates/ hormone poisoning? In Denmark 25% of all newborn are artificially conceived due to problems with fertility. 20% suffer from AHDH. 33% go to special education due to behavior.



It's a little amount. You will be fine. =)
