My advice is to get rid of any cooking pans that will come in contact with food. Aluminum is not good for you, and these posts reinforce what my sister told me about her aluminum pans. She says she cleans thme by just boiling tomatoes, or maybe it was rhubarb. Don't remember for sure. But the point is, the acid foods clean the aluminum NOT by dissolving the food on the aluminum, but by dissolving the aluminum itself.(posted 9670 days ago)If you absolutely insist on cooking food in aluminum pans, at least make sure that the pH of the food you cook never gets below 7.
