Question 1

When ordering on amazon, does lucky iron fish participate in buy-one-give-one?

Accepted Answer

Hello - yes.  Orders on Amazon are part of our buy-one-give-one program.

Question 2

Is it lead free?

Accepted Answer

The Lucky Iron Fish is tested for safety and quality and does not contain lead.

Question 3

Can the fish be left in a teapot for daily boiling, or does it need to be stored dry? Would using the boiled water for tea affect the taste?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for the question.  The Lucky Iron Fish has to be kept clean and dry between uses.  If you leave it sitting in a teapot it will rust.  It won't affect the taste of tea.  Just be sure to use only 2-3 drops of lemon juice when you are boiling your Lucky Iron Fish - if you use too much lemon it may affect the taste.  Feel free to connect if you have any other questions.  Our website has some great recipes.

Question 4

How is this different than just cooking in cast iron pans?

Accepted Answer

Cooking in iron pans releases iron but it is difficult to determine how much is released and whether that iron can be absorbed by the body. Iron cooking pots and skillets tend to rust. Although rust is not harmful, it is ferric iron which is not well absorbed by the body. Many manufacturers of iron pots and skillets recommend that you 'seal' the pan by heating it at high temperatures with oil. 'Sealing' the pan blocks the release of iron during cooking.

The Lucky Iron Fish is made from a specific type of iron. Its shape, size and weight are calculated to release a consistent amount of iron that can be absorbed by the body every time it is used. For optimal results, we recommend that you boil 1 litre of drinking water with the Fish and 2-3 drops of acidity such as lemon juice.
