What Problems People Should Be Paid Attention to When Using Aluminum Pots?

In daily life, people often use some aluminum vessels for cooking, which is inseparable from its performance and advantages. We know that aluminum is lightweight, and has good electrical and thermal conductivity, and it is resistant to oxidation and not easy to rust. And the aluminum cooking pot is light and thin, has good heat transfer. It is said that the heat transfer effect of aluminum kitchen pot is 16 times that of stainless steel pots. So, it can save fuel and cooking time. That is why many people choose aluminum cookware. But there are some hazards caused by improper use which have been recognized by more and more people. Then what problems should be paid attention to when people use aluminum pots and pans set? 

 

Precautions for using aluminum pan

 

1. In order to reduce the hazards to use aluminum kitchenware, experts recommend that people try not to use aluminum frying pan for high-temperature frying, because high temperature may release aluminum components.

 

2. Aluminum pot with lid cannot be filled with strong acid and alkali dishes. If food is pickled, it is best to use glassware.

 

3. Do not use aluminum products to hold acidic or alkaline foods, such as juice, wine, soy sauce, vinegar, etc.

 

4. Avoid mixing eggs in aluminum products. When the egg white touches aluminum, it will turn into grayish white. It is best to choose porcelain products for stirring eggs.

 

5. Avoid using aluminum products for long-term storage of flour. The starch in the flour will produce organic acid after fermentation, which is corrosive to aluminum. 

 

6. Avoid using aluminum pans to store food for a long time. Aluminum has poor corrosion resistance. Alkali, acid, and salt can chemically react with aluminum. If people eat food stored in an aluminum pan for a long time, it will cause harm to human health.

 

7. Avoid using aluminum pot to decoct medicine. It may produce toxic substances and it is harmful to the human body.

 

8. Avoid mixing iron and aluminum cookware. Such usage is extremely harmful to health. After iron and aluminum collide and rub, the softer aluminum will drop many powdery particles. These particles enter the human body along with the food causing the amount of aluminum in the body to increase rapidly, forming a chronic accumulation. When the accumulation reaches a certain amount, it will affect the health of human body.

 

9. Avoid boiling water with new aluminum pots. It will make aluminum products black. You should use new aluminum products to cook rice or meat first before boiling water.

 

10. Aluminum utensils can be cleaned with detergent, nylon scouring pad and other decontamination, but it should be avoid using alkaline water to clean. Some consumers like to use a knife to scrape, or use a stainless steel ball brush, but these ways are not correct. Here we reminder that do not wipe off the brown rust on the surface when using aluminum pots and pans. It can protect the aluminum and make it difficult to precipitate, and it can reduce the harm to the human body.
