I want to get my own steel chopped for oven insertion and pizza production.
The problem is I want to know if 'mild' steel of structural use is safe for food use.
I'd buy in the UK where S275 is easily available and somewhat comparable to the famed A36.
BUT EU specs & US specs aren't the same... anyone know probabilities of heavy metals leeching out etc?
