After roughly 30 yrs of warnings about the use of aluminum cookware, I could not bring myself to use it ever again. I remember how tomatoes or any other acidic food would yield a shiny pot ---before cleaning it, that is. That's when I realized where all the "dirty" aluminum went-------right into the spaghetti sauce! But I'm still scratching my head over the idea that you'd actually WANT to cook with aluminum!
Rowena says: I was raised to have a horror of aluminium pots, drinking cups, anything. My mother a bit ahead of her time again there. Over sixty years ago she knew this. Plastic also she avoided. Some twelve years ago, I was given a griddle, I suppose it would be called. For cooking pancakes or whatever when camping. A kind of round slab of aluminium with a folding handle. As I have read in the past that aluminium is fairly safe if used for cooking with FAT, I did sometimes use it to make that sort of food. Okay, dangerous behaviour, yup. When I started using virgin coconut oil, I made some pancakes on this gadget. The coconut oil cleaned the aluminium - right onto the pancakes in layers. Aluminium paint, basically, I suppose. Threw the pancakes out, also the griddle. Now I use a flat SS electric frypan. Should have used one all along. By the way - after years of assuming glass was the highest form of cooking receptacle, I came across a comment that after all, there turns out to be a problem with it. I can't remember what that problem was, and can't find any reference to it in a search. But I know it was severe enough to make me feel pretty disappointed. About something or other being released into the food. Ever feel you can't win, heh heh? Rowena -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
