"ALUMINUM
" It’s a great heat conductor, lightweight, inexpensive and easy to
clean. However, some aluminum is dissolved into food when you are
cooking acidic foods like fruits and tomatoes or anything containing
vinegar. Even if there is little risk from exposure to the levels of
aluminum released into food from cooking, we are exposed to aluminum
cumulatively from many other environmental sources. In addition, salty
water or food can pit aluminum cookware, making older pots a possible
source of trace amounts of substances like arsenic and fluorides.
The more expensive anodized aluminum cookware is a safer alternative. The electro-chemical anodizing process locks in the cookware’s aluminum so that it can’t leach into food.
"PORCELAIN-ENAMEL COATING" an alternative is aluminum or steel coated with porcelain-enamel. As long as the coating remains in good condition, the surface of these pots is durable, with no metal leaching into the food.
"IRONWARE" may be a good choice for some cooks, although cast iron is heavy and you need to be careful to prevent rusting.
"STAINLESS STEEL" is relatively inert compared to other metals, the metals present in the alloy can be released into food in extremely low quantities. These metals can include nickel, molybdenum, titanium, aluminum, and carbon steel.
