ali pans explained

[noble ox]

Noble Ox, can you give us any credible links that show that cooking (not storing) even acidic foodstuff causes an aluminium overdose in humans? If you ever eat in any restaurant you will probably find that nearly all the pots in the kitchen are made from aluminium.

Hi Paul
This debate has gone on for too many years ,as they say "no smoke without fire" So I will play safe and avoid aluminium it makes sense to me,to be sure of what to use which is safe.

Fishes link is very reassuring
But what concerns me is the method the curry chef uses
He scrapes and scratches the pan with a ferocity not normally attributed to cooking
Surely, this must add to the quantity of aluminium present in the curry

a curry chef would have to chisel out some aluminum to get into into the curry scraping and scratching doesnt put enough pressure to gouge out any significant amount of aluminum

"Conclusion

Aluminum pans do not pose a health risk to their users, even if they are scratched or pitted.  The amount of aluminum that leaks into food is negligible, and far less than that consumed through other methods".
