There are many barbecues grate in the market that are made of iron and chrome plating, and many consumers buy chrome-plated barbecues because they are cheaper than a stainless steel grill. But can chrome grill grate be used safely? Why those high-end hotels use stainless steel grill grate? The answer is that chrome grill is not good for people’s health.

When making the barbecue, the food is directly contacting with the barbecue grate, with chrome-plated barbecue grill grate, the food will be directly in contact with the harmful substances hexavalent chromium Cr6 +,

The EU stipulated ROHS standard makes it clear that hexavalent chromium Cr6 + is a swallowing agent, indeed, the amount of poison is related to the amount of swallowing, and some poeple is allergic to hexavalent chromium skin.

Why not use stainless steel, answer is the price, because the material cost of the stainless steel grill grate is 5 times higher than the iron chrome grill grate, I can understand why these junk products is all over the market, because consumers is always focus on the price,which is not a good thing.

As long as the grate is plated, it will fall off by high temperature, people may eat sticky food.
