== == I have never seen anyone use aluminum. It seems like it would be prohibitively expensive. Also it is "reactive" so i know some foods can't be prepared in aluminum pans. Also i have no idea how aluminum would react to your more caustic cleaning agents. Also, stainless is much stronger and won't dent or bend over time.

What type of alloy is used in food industry?
Aluminum and stainless steel are used extensively in the food industry.
Why utensils made of aluminum should be use instead of copper?
Copper and aluminum conduct heat quite a bit better than iron, so pans made of those metals generally get the heat to the food better. The thermal conductivity of copper is about 25% better than aluminum, and aluminum is about 3 times as good as iron, just to ball park the performance.
Can you use aluminium in a grill?
no. As Aluminium is a very soft metal having low melting point. So it can be easily damaged by a saw or a gas cutter.ANS2:Many good quality grills have aluminum components. Aluminum is lighter and less prone to corrosion than steel and cheaper than stainless steel. Enameled or Teflon(r) coated cast aluminum grills (the food-contact part, that is) clean easily and are easy to handle. If you line the firebox of a grill with aluminum foil you will extend the life of the grill and make cleaning up ash and grease easier.Some studies indicate a relationship between aluminum and Alzheimer's. For that reason and because it prevents air flow, it is probably better to not wrap the grilling surface with aluminum foil....and, as pointed out in the first answer, don't clean your aluminum grill with a saw or gas cutter.

How can you tell the difference between aluminum and stainless steel?
They are both pretty hard to chew, and have little nutritional value. But seriously, it depends on what the application is. Aluminum is lighter. Stainless has other advantages. Each material corrodes in ways the other does not.
When using a stock pot with aluminum and stainless steel will sour salt change the flavor of the food being cooked?
no
What metals are food safe?
Stainless is the only one I know of. Aluminum is also food safe for non-acidic foods. Aluminum will discolor eggs (turn them greenish/grey) and tomatoes/sauce will react with it as well. Some recipes actually call for "NON REACTIVE" saucepans, meaning stainless or teflon/non-stick coating.
You just bought an expensive bbq grill with cast stainless grilling grids and a stainless steel bow burner The rest of the grill is made of aluminum The question here is the all aluminum top and bott?
I just bought an expensive bbq grill with cast stainless grilling grids and a stainless steel bow burner. The rest of the grill is made of aluminum. The question here is: the all aluminum top and bottom lids or casing which the bbq grill is made, and actually encases the entire grill-going to gas off aluminum into my food where my family might have posioning from such a dangerous metal? I have a 5 and 7 year old. Thanks!
How do you know if cookware is stainless or aluminum?
I was one of the people who had this question and since it wasn't answered yet, I dug for my own answers. This is what I've found. Short answer: A Stainless Steel pot or pan is in many ways better than an aluminum pan, even though aluminum conducts heat better. Expanded answer: Stainless Steel is one of the best "non-reactive" materials used in cookware. Aluminum is a reactive material which will change the way foods that are made in it look and taste. There are many arguments that aluminum cookware can cause health issues, but from what information I have found, aluminum cookware is safe for use as long as you avoid cooking acidic foods for long periods of time in them. It's also suggested that you don't store acidic food in aluminum pots and pans. Anodized Aluminum is safe to cook acidic foods in as long as there are not any pits and scratches on the surface. Generally, a Stainless Steel pot will last much longer (sometimes generations) than an aluminum pot. No matter how many scratches and pits the Stainless Steel pot gets it'll always remain non-reactive, so you can cook any type of food in them. For these reasons, I say yes, a stainless steel pot is better than an aluminum one.
How does using aluminum cookware affect your health?
It has not been shown that the minute amount of aluminum which can enter food via cookware is clinically significant, with the exception of cooking acidic foods (like tomato sauces, balsamic vinegar) in them. Most aluminum in the body comes from baked goods (bread, doughnuts, cakes) due to the use of baking powder which includes aluminum diphosphate. If you're still hesitant, a better choice may be the use of stainless steel cookware.
Will an aluminum pan add a strange taste to certain foods?
Aluminum pans will make your food taste like aluminum. They are also very unhealthy to use. Use a stainless steel pan instead. Check out this link, it is a great stainless steel pan that is on sale: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ND3GQY?ie=UTF8&tag=nilssonsnatur-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B000ND3GQY
Are Stainless steel cokware with cooper bottam is better?
Copper conducts heat better than stainless steel. If you can afford the copper, go for it. If not, stainless steel will work fine for just about anything. Also, bare stainless conducts heat much better than non-stick. So for browning food, non-stick pans should be avoided (and copper bottom bare pans would be best).
Why utensils made of aluminum should be use instead of copper?
Copper and aluminum conduct heat quite a bit better than iron, so pans made of those metals generally get the heat to the food better. The thermal conductivity of copper is about 25% better than aluminum, and aluminum is about 3 times as good as iron, just to ball park the performance.
Is copper clad or aluminim clad better than other types of pans?
Copper Clad pots are extremely expensive! They are great conductors of heat and they heat up very quickly. Aluminum clad pots are cheap and lightweight. They are great conductors of heat as well and fluctuate in temperature with the addition of cold food. Copper cookware is also very popular for some cooks. Copper conducts heat much better and more evenly than stainless steel, so copper pots and pans offer better cooking evenness than stainless steel alone. However, copper is reactive with acids found in food, so they must be lined with a material such as stainless steel to be safe for cooking. Copper-clad pots and pans are popular, as they offer the even heating of a copper pan with a price tag closer to a stainless steel piece of cookware.
