Busse coating?

[Westflorida]

I just wanted to find out if the Busse coating is safe to use on foods and what exactly it is made of?

Thanks, Steve

I think that the general consensus is that yes, it is safe to cut food with it, however the less the better. For more often and long term cutting of food a DC or satin finish is preferred.

This was actually a concern of mine when I got my first Busse, and went with the satin finish just to be on the safe side.

i have been told that it is safer than teflon

pigment, base powder, thinner and hardner.

maybe a little metal powder.


if you call up any powdercoater, much of the ingrediants they give will be the same as busse uses.

I might want to take it off for the shiny/brushed look. Has anyone tried this?

If only we had a FAQ. Cliff, see this thread for the most recent discussion along these lines: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=365060

Short answer: Yes

Longer answer: Santi seems to be the resident expert at this point, but Skunk and some others have had success as well.

Rick - also thinking about it

As long as you're not cutting anything with bones, I wouldn't worry about any of it coming off anyway.
