Why is brass not used more if it self sanitises ?

466 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 ?

One thing on one has touched on yet, any copper-based alloy will react with Aluminum when wet. What that means is that if you leave an aluminum pan on a wet copper counter (or if you, like me, left a lasagna pan in the copper sink of the house you just bought) the copper will turn that aluminum into salt water and “eat” it away. It’s a pretty cool trick, but problematic when all of your sheet pans are aluminum.
