Tinning Cookware With Silver
Q: Silver metal is cheap. Would it make sense to "tin" cookware with silver instead of tin? I know some chocolate molds are "tinned" with silver -- I presume either to improve release from the mold or avoid giving the chocolate an off flavor. The device I wish to "tin" is antique cast iron, and is actually a meat or juice press, so no cooking will be done with it.
A: Why not use the original cast iron piece as a pattern, and cast a new one out of solid silver? Take it a step farther -- make a cast silver frying pan, patterned after your favorite old Griswold skillet. Just imagine how evenly it will heat! Seriously though, you might take your iron pieces to a place that does custom automotive *chrome* plating (bumpers, intake manifolds, etc.) Good for you! Some people may think it's crazy, but I find that many foods taste different whether eaten with stainless steel or silver/silverplate flatware. Speaking of dental... IIRC, amalgam fillings used to contain small amounts of mercury, another heavy metal that can be very toxic. Apparently, it is stabilized in the composition.
Discuss It!
