The Leaf/Fish must be fully submerged in boiling liquid that is slightly acidified for 10 minutes.
Wash it in the sink before and after each use.
After drying it, apply the Lucky Iron Protection Oil to help prolong the life of your cooking tool.
Do not leave it to air dry as moisture left behind on the iron surface will result in rust.

Since most people need up to 18mg of daily iron (depending on age/ lifestyle/ etc.), a single use of the Lucky Iron Fish/Leaf can provide a significant portion of the daily requirement.
Cooking with the Fish/Leaf regularly is a great addition to your daily diet to ensure adequate iron intake.
The Leaf/Fish would have to be intentionally misused (e.g. boiling for hours at a time) to release too much iron. This would also change the taste and smell of the liquid making it very undesirable to use.
When used as directed, the Leaf/Fish can be a great source of easily absorbable iron.
When concerned about any supplementation regime, we always recommend that you talk to your healthcare professional.
When used as directed, the Lucky Iron Fish/Leaf does not change the taste, colour or smell of the food or water it is boiled in.
If there is a strong taste it is generally because of:
Not washing with soap and water before and after use
Excessive acidity was added - keep it to no more than 2 drops per 1L of liquid
Boiling for too long
Yes, it is safe for most individuals including pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Exceptions include:
Infants under 12 months as we have not tested use of the Lucky Iron Life cooking tools on them. According to Canadian Paediatric Society guidelines, most infants do not require additional iron in the first year of their life. However, if your baby’s physician decides that the baby needs more iron then we suggest that you follow their advice about the best way to treat your infant.
Individuals with a hemoglobin variant such as Hemochromatosis.
