Are these chopsticks safe to reuse?!


Question: Are these chopsticks safe to reuse?
I'm looking for a pair of reusable chopsticks. I would probably use them to eat both chinese and japanese foods with them.. I just don't know what to look for. I probably don't want metal as they are harder to use. Probably wooden. I've heard that you should avoid colored wooden chopsticks due to lead levels and some other things. What's the truth, and where can I find a good pair of reusable chopsticks?

One I found. Are these okay to use for being how cheap they are, I thought I should ask.

Any other tips would be nice.

We have several sets of very nice plastic chopsticks that are NOT the disposable kind, they're made from hard plastic, like the stuff they use for plastic spatulas and kitchen spoons, and they're very washable and reusable (see link, below).

Good luck!... ?

There are so many different types of chopsticks out there that it can be difficult to choose. Metal chopsticks are used in Korea and are quite good as they are easy to use and clean. Japanese and Chinese will use either wooden or plastic chopsticks. My family in Japan prefer the wooden type as they are more traditional and provide a better grip. Plastic chopsticks are also good as they are very easy to clean and look after.

They should be just fine, I own several pair of colored wooden and stainless steel chopsticks. I wouldn't worry about lead poisoning since you won't be actually eating the paint itself.



How about choosing some from this web site?

As I am Japanese, I think the chopsticks on this site are more refined and tasteful in design.



Plastic chopsticks are the best. That's what I use in my household.
