Glass bottle with plastic lid

Hi guys, just a quick question about an extraction vessel.

So the other day at the super market I came across a 2 liter glass milk bottle that i though would be perfect for my next extraction using earthwalker's tek.

When I got the bottle home i noticed the plastic lid was made from LDPE and now I'm wondering if this will be safe to use? I have heard that HDPE is the best type of plastic to use.

Is there a chance that this lid could contaminate my spice ??

Thanks

That would depend on your extraction method, thin necks make retrieving immiscible solvents easier etc etc -- both are glass so are unlikely to contaminate you product but the contact time with your lids is quite minimal so contamination will be kept to the barest of minimums. Our bodies are pretty good at removing toxins and as I said there are contaminants everywhere in modern life so worrying over a lid seems a bit moot.

thanks for your input geeg30, i had the same thoughts about minimum contact with the lid leading to almost no contamination. Thanks for chipping in
