No, due to pewter's low melting point you cannot use pewter dishes in the oven.
It is recommended to use a fine-toothed saw, such as a jeweler's saw, for cutting pewter. This type of saw will help you achieve precise and clean cuts in the pewter material. Remember to secure the pewter piece firmly before cutting to ensure safe and accurate results.
Yes, it does. Antique pewter contains lead and will tarnish more and more quickly than "modern" lead-free pewter. Lead-containing pewter is recognizable by its darker silver-grey color. Modern pewter tarnishes slowly and evenly. Its patina is often considered an enhancement to its appearance, but if you want to remove the tarnish, you can use a pewter polish, cleaning soda, or other material (don't use silver polish or standard tarnish remover formulations).
Pewter used to contain lead, which made it a harmful material for storing food and drink. Modern pewter no longer contains lead and is considered safe for use with food and beverages.
Yes, you can place oranges on pewter. Pewter is a metal alloy that is generally safe for food contact, but it's best to ensure that the pewter is food-safe, as some older or decorative pieces may contain lead or other harmful substances. To protect the pewter's surface and maintain its appearance, it's advisable to use a plate or cloth under the oranges.
