Why is brass not used more if it self sanitises ?

522 views

I’m getting my kitchen redone & want to know why copper alloys like brass isn’t used more. It seems perfect for counter space and prep areas with its self sanitation properties.
Am I missing something bc I’m stupid or maybe just ahead of the curb ?

Because the effect only works with clean, unvarnished copper and alloys. As natural tarnish builds up and creates a surface, that effect goes away. and if you varnish or seal it to prevent tarnish, the effect doesn’t work. Plus, the same reactions that are why it self sanitizes WILL occur with lots of foods and equipment in contact with the counter. Do YOU want your philly cheesesteak to taste like pennies?
