Is it OK to eat from a copper fondue pot I have solid one an antique store made in Thailand would like use for oil and cheese meatballs tomato sauce?

I cannot give you medical advice, and this is a question for a food safety expert or your doctor. However, I can tell you that copper cookware can leach copper into food, especially if the food is acidic. This can be harmful, especially for people with copper sensitivities.

Here are some things to consider:

* Is the pot lined? Some copper cookware has a lining of tin, nickel, or stainless steel to prevent copper leaching. If your pot is lined, it's likely safer to use than an unlined pot.

* What kind of food are you making? Acidic foods, like tomato sauce, can increase the amount of copper that leaches into food. You may want to avoid using the pot for acidic foods.

* How long will the food be in contact with the copper? The longer the food is in contact with the copper, the more copper can leach into it. Try to keep the food in the pot for as short a time as possible.

In general, it's best to avoid using copper cookware for cooking food. If you do use it, be sure to do so with caution and avoid acidic foods. If you have any concerns, please consult with a food safety expert or your doctor.
