Aluminium Recipe: Vegetarian
How useful is this
Aluminium protects itself with a hard layer of dull grey oxide. This will prevent any aluminium dissolving in the food. Provided this layer is left intact, aluminium is safe to use. Always wash aluminium with a soft cloth and detergent. Never scour it clean. Any food that leaves the pan bright and shiny - such as rhubarb or vinegar - should not be cooked in aluminium pans.
