Kitchenware items from 2016 flood
Posted on 7/15/20 at 1:39 pm
Posted on 7/15/20 at 1:39 pm
I recently was given the opportunity to go through a ton of kitchen stuff that a friend had been storing for a friend of hers after the flood in 2016. The friend finally decided she didn’t want any of it and didn’t want to deal with it and told them to just throw it away, donate, sell, etc.
Anyway, I took a lot of loaf pans and stuff. Got a few nice Magnalite pots, quite a few Nordic Ware loaf pans and molds. Also got a huge cast iron skillet.
Is all of this safe if it was in flood waters? They aren’t sure any more what came from top cabinets and what was in the flood waters in the bottom. They cleaned everything before storing it but I am not going to trust that it was done to the fullest extent since it was just being stored.
Is all of this safe as long as I give it all a good clean? Mostly unsure of the cast iron and the Magnalite pots. I feel like the loaf pans should be fine.
Just looking for general advice on these items. As I come across other types of kitchenware I will reply to this topic to see what you guys think.

Whatever you think is on those pots and pans is cleaner than the BigMac you had made by some kid picking their nose and digging in their butt.

If she was storing it for her friend after the flood then how would it have gotten in the flood waters?

Turn the oven on 350F and all will be good. Seriously.

Give all that shite to goodwill and buy quality.
Preferably silver as it can be melted down to combat evil.

I helped some folks clean out their grandparents house after that flood. they dumped all their magnalites by the trash and said have at em if i wanted them. i've been using them since no issues.

I don't know about you but I would ask myself that question every time that I took a bite from something cooked in one of those pots so it is a hard no from me.

The friend flooded and the house had to be gutted. So all the dishes were taken out, cleaned up, wrapped and boxed and then my friend stored it for her. Kinda how it happened for most people that flooded.

A bunch of my stuff is in my parents attic, bread pans, baking sheets... (Dad wouldn’t let me trash)
I kept my pots, soaked them & ran them through the dishwasher a bunch
My Dad said he didn’t know what the big deal was, I had been eating off flooded dishes my entire life from when my grandparents flooded in 83
Basically I won’t use anything that rusted but everything else should be fine
Cast iron can be reseasoned

If the dishes weren't sitting in sludge and never got wet..then there should really be no issue.

Thanks. I’m doing a bleach water soak for all the pots and pans and then going to bake them on 400 for a little while. That should be fine.

Nope. Send it to me for proper hazmat disposal.

I told the adjuster after the flood that I would keep my dishes, pots, and pans if he was willing to soak his in the toilet for a few days and then clean them and eat off of them. I threw mine out. That is what I paid contents insurance for.
*my house smelled like Bourbon street post flood so I didn't sanitize anything but concrete slab and studs.

This is the only other thing I have question on. Some Emile Henry bakeware for bread.
It seems to be ceramic, maybe made of clay. Seems like it would be extremely porous. Not sure about this one, will have to do some research. It looks in excellent shape, no signs of any kind of rusting or anything. It can bake at up to 500 so I may just put it in there on 500 for a while.
Anyone know about anything like this kind of product?

After Katrina I put all my cast iron through a fireplace for a little while, then re-seasoned each piece. Still using all of it.

Emile Henry dishes are designed to resist oven heat up to 250 degrees Celsius / 480 degrees Fahrenheit; they are not intended to be used over direct flame or hot plates. Do not place your hot dish on a cold or wet surface.
All Emile Henry products are dishwasher-safe.
^ From their website
I’d run it through the dishwasher & oven & use it unless there is discoloration from flood water
That’s a nice piece of cookware that I’d try to salvage, unless it’s discolored

Many years ago, there was a study that linked aluminum to Alzheimer’s but it was debunked not long after it made national news.

Spray it down with some Clorox kitchen spray and put it away
