If that is the case, I would not use it. There are too many dangers in foods touching native aluminum. - Mark J.

It is not non-stick. I burned something in it and used a scouring pad to get it off. It seems to have removed the "finish" of the pot. The bottom of the pot is shiny silver, whereas the top of the pot is still a darker grey color. In your opinion, is this safe to cook in or should I throw it out? - Ameg Tue, 12 Jan 2010 18:20:57 +0100 http://yourcookwarehelper.com/choosing-cookware-materials/anodized-cookware/is-anodized-aluminum-cookware-safe/#comment-42 You are right in that they are confusing. Part of the problem is that the big companies like DuPont have a lot of political might and sway a lot of research and Federal funding of research. My take is this: I like stainless steel. The best research says it is safe because it does not react with foods. I like that it is dishwasher safe also. As to nonstick surfaces, I think it is OK to use them on a minimal basis but not on high heat. When they start showing signs of wear, throw them out and replace them. It is hard to dismiss nonstick altogether because they do make life so much easier. But we also have to know they can be dangerous in their use, especially at higher heats. I test a lot of cookware. Right now I am testing a number of the ceramic based eco-friendly low stick alternatives. I have to say, they show a lot of promise, and can be a solid replacement for the traditional nonsticks. - Mark J.

It would be good if some one does a scientific research and it's exact outcome published in public interest that would guide all people - Jyotsna S Modak Sat, 09 Jan 2010 12:39:06 +0100 http://yourcookwarehelper.com/choosing-cookware-materials/anodized-cookware/is-anodized-aluminum-cookware-safe/#comment-29 So, Mark. What kind of cookware do you recommend? I just picked up a set of this, but can easily return it. - Bonnie Tue, 04 Aug 2009 00:15:48 +0100
