Nickel allergy--------just don't know if it is leaching into foods cooked in stainless steel or not, but it could be? Too clumsy for glass pans, haven't seen any nice porcelain cookware for a long time either, that is what I used for many years, but they do chip, and mine got too chipped to continue with. So went to stainless steel. In trying to construct a timeline for the worsening of certain allergy symptoms, began to wonder if the SS is a problem for me.
I do have known nickel allergy.

P.S. I don't use tomatoes anymore, my husband is allergic to them, and I gave them up when it seemed like the nightshade veg make my joint pain worse......no worry about acids in aluminum if you don't cook acid foods. LOL.

Speaking of aluminum cookware, just try to find any. Uncoated with teflon, I mean. I am beginning to wonder if some of my problems are from nickel leaching from stainless steel, though I'm very carefu, never scour the pans, etc. I'd like to get an aluminum pan but can no longer find any.


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!

So yesterday I went into one of the local grocery stores that caters to the Latino population in the nearby county seat. I was amazed to see a display of aluminum cookware. You're right, Sol; these "pure" aluminum pans haven't been on the market for a few decades. I'm sorry that I didn't pay much attention to it, all I noticed was a Spanish sounding name for the manufacturer. These pots and pans were in the aisle with the hispanic specialty foods, so maybe an ethnic market would be the place to look.

But I'm still scratching my head over the idea that you'd actually WANT to cook with aluminum!
