Galvanized steel and cooking

In long-term, continuous exposure, the recommended maximum temperature for hot-dip galvanized steel is 200 °C (392 °F), according to the American Galvanizers Association. The use of galvanized steel at temperatures above this will result in peeling of the zinc at the inter metallic layer.

At what temperature does galvanized steel become toxic?
392 F
Zinc toxicity can occur when an individual is exposed to and breathes the heated yellowish fumes produced from welding or heating galvanized steel. For hot-dipped galvanized steel the recommended maximum temperature is 392 F (200 C), before the metal presents a toxicity risk.

That surprised me at such a Low temp.
Older Galvinising down here was heavier than todays product, Maybe a different/safer product?

Hot dipped or Electroplated

I’m a galvanized metal welder/shop owner. (Almost 20 years) I have had zinc poisoning from fumes because of a faulty respirator. Not a fun ride. No permanent damage to the body, but not fun. I know im talking welding fumes, but don’t cook on or with galvanized anything. It’s effing nasty.

Is it galvanized or aluminized or other ? Does it say galvanized ?

I would rule that one out for sure. Even way back in high school at a summer job we were warned about heating galvanized.

Heed Ryan's warnings. Galvie flu shouldn't be taken lightly. I'd rule out the Charotis immediately.
