Is it safe to cook food in aluminium pots ?
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
I was trying to convince my buddy to buy steel over aluminium because I’ve read about health issues with aluminium especially when cooking acidic foods
Aluminum=bad including baking sheet pans, Aluminum foil, those catering Aluminum trays, canned soda (i know it's coated in a chemical that prevents leeching yeah right lol.
Nonstick= bad
Stainless steel and/or cast iron. If you can learn to cook an egg on stainless steel without it sticking= pro lol
A well-seasoned cast iron skillet cooks eggs wonderfully. Cast iron was the go to cookware of our ancestors who crossed the prairies in covered wagons. Cast iron was what the cowboys used on the range. Good old cast iron. The only problem with a complete set (as I should know) is that the older you get, the heavier they become to cook with. So I got rid of my dutch oven, several pots with the cast iron lids and a couple of the casseroles. I kept 2 of the skillets and one casserole.
They are the best weapons any person has in the kitchen.
I wouldn't want to get hit over the head with one. Kek!
Isn't that the truth! I have a stovetop grill that covers two burners that is getting extremely hard to wield, but I refuse to give it up, meat tastes and looks (grill marks like a restaurant), sooooo good seared and cooked on it!
I also found some lighter glass and stainless lids from other pots and pans that fit a few of my cast iron pieces.
Yes, and thrift stores are great places to find glass lids. Also, cast iron is what kept the early pioneers and cowboys from being iron deficient; or so I've been told. I was told that some of the iron would leech into the food by scraping the pan and so they would have iron in their diet. Don't know for sure.
I've heard that about iron in the food, and I believe it. If aluminum can leech, then it stands to reason that other metals would, as well.
