because the vinegar can react with the metal
Iron was used for thousands of years before aluminum. While aluminum is more abundant, it is not as easy to work with as iron.
When aluminum and iron combine, they can form an aluminum-iron alloy, which is often used to enhance the properties of both metals. One common alloy is aluminum 7075, which includes zinc and small amounts of iron to improve strength and corrosion resistance. Additionally, in certain conditions, aluminum can react with iron oxide (rust) in a thermite reaction, producing molten iron and aluminum oxide. This reaction is often used in welding and metal cutting applications.
Iron strengthens the aluminum

Aluminum is not used as the reducing agent in iron extraction because it has a higher reduction potential than iron, meaning it is not able to reduce iron oxide to elemental iron. Carbon, on the other hand, has a lower reduction potential than iron and is commonly used as the reducing agent in the extraction of iron.
the aluminum cans don't attract and and steel attracts because its is made of iron and aluminum is not.
Aluminum alloy or cast iron
Because its an excellent thermal conductor. Iron and aluminum help gather and store the heat used for cooking
One method to separate iron from aluminum is by using a magnet to attract the iron, since iron is magnetic while aluminum is not. Another method could be to exploit the difference in their melting points, as aluminum melts at a lower temperature than iron, allowing for selective heating and separation. Additionally, chemical processes like dissolution and precipitation reactions can be used to selectively extract one metal from a mixture.
Cast Iron. Cast Iron can be "seasoned" which creates a "non"-stick coating while cast Aluminum cannot. I have used both cast Iron and cast Aluminum; the rosettes made with the Aluminum irons never release as well as rosettes made using the cast Iron. Given how delicate rosettes are after frying and how HOT as well; I have never had the same success rate using the aluminum irons.
One method to separate iron from aluminum is through the process of magnetic separation. Iron is magnetic and can be pulled out using a magnet, while aluminum is not magnetic and remains unaffected. This method allows for the efficient separation of the two materials based on their magnetic properties.
