Don't buy this product! It literally comes with a warning once they ship it: that it's illegal to sell it in California because "it may contain materials that are known to cause cancer, or birth defects, or other reproductive harm." Translation: it's painted with lead.  I bought it, because I liked the design (and they don't give you the warning beforehand).  If you already have this lead coated item in your kitchen I strongly urge you to THROW IT OUT!
