Their bronze products should be perfectly safe for cooking use if they are first _heavily_ tinned by a professional, and kept heavily tinned throughout their lifespan. I still constantly use many tinned copperware items, which would require meticulous polishing before each and every use if they weren't tinned (to remove the toxic vedigris).
