Fads....to keep industries going. We are fed so many lies and we foolishly believe

i use cardboard boxes,,, ;-))

It depends on the thickness of the cookware.

Better avoided altogether. Stainless steel and cast iron are generally better

Really bad really bad can't remember why? Oh that's right, dementia really bad? What? Forget about it...

nuclear war will get all first

I use mostly iron pans and steel.good for health.

aluminium cookware could be detrimental to one's health so prefer stainless steel

I only use Rena Ware, Stainless Steel, been using it for 50years never had any problem

we never had them , It was a USA idea introduced and like all other USA ideas we ignored them to our benefit. There are so many toxins killing everything slowly whats the point of worrying. This is the least of anyones problem, want something to really be aware of fo to WEF and UN website and really read what is planned for the human race.... Bets all the USA so call made up science fiction

Do as you want don't listen to science peoples most are pay to say one way not others ways.

I still use it.

avoid aluminium if I can

I won’t use aluminium cookwear, heard too much about them not being healthy to use

NOT REALLY A HEALTH RISK- ALUMINIUM IS EASY TO CLEAN

I wouldn't risk using my old aluminium pots so bought some lovely new ones.I didn't throw them away, an Op Shop was happy to take them

Cooking in aluminium is nearly as bad as cooking in lead would be and has much the same effect. Don't do it.

Nearly everything we use seems to be bad for us, and next thing you know researchers say the exact opposite. If we listened to everything they said we'd be nervous wrecks. I mostly use stainless steel, although I do have one aluminium saucepan that I boil eggs in.

This is life -- what's good one minute -- is bad the next. Then back to good again. What goes around comes arounds -- so just do what you feel is best for yourself.

aluminum cookware poses no real health threat unless you have a kidney disorder.

I personally prefer stainless as I have found over the years using camp aluminum pots they can give off a taste after a while

never believe a scientist till you know who is paying him look at Global Warming lots and lots of MONEY

My eggs don't care and if I die of cancer then my time was up. Lol kinda

I will be keeping my non-stick pans.

Scientists seem to say one thing then change their minds frequently, people don't know who to believe these days.

If we take every advise we could not use any pots or pans as people always find something to say to scare you so you buy new expensive pots which they advertise.

nothing wrong with aluminium pots and pans. I have a trick that works for ua all the time make our aluminium pots and pans last long. Every 3 months you take one pot fill it wit mud and water, stir it like a stew, leave it outside on the table foe 2 days, then dump the contents and wash it clean with hot water, that's your pot refresh and last long. we are made of dirt

I think they make these little scares up to make us spend money renewing everything it's always about the money

The nonstick ones at least have a coating which if not broken prevents what is being cooked coming into contact with the metal of the pan. So no problems there. As for Aluminum passing straight through the body I'm not so sure on that one as studies have shown that high Aluminum in the body may contribute to Alzheimer's Disease so that may be why that type of cook ware has been removed from commercial kitchens I don't know but it's at least a possibility. Unlike what the media wants to report Science is not hard and fast as new knowledge becomes available Theses change like for instance Uncle Albert said Light always travels at the speed of light and gave a specific speed which he claimed could not be exceeded. Now we know that it can travel slower depending on what it is going through but as yet no faster which may change at some time in the future or may not. I would also look at who is producing the studies saying something is safe if they are run or paid for by the Aluminum Industry they could be biased on flawered Science where they have chosen experiments that will give them the results those paying for the study. Sir Issacs Newton said the main problem with Science was not devising experiments to come to the right conclusion but knowing which experiments brought you to the wrong conclusion. I remember a cancer study that went out the window because the plastics they where using to transfer samples actually produced a cariogenic which caused cancers in every sample, they even had it growing in a tube that had been left over the weekend partly filled. Aluminum has several advantages lightness being the most obvious but it is a relatively new material and often mixed with other metals to make alloys which is where they may be real problems. For instance if they mixed it with Lead you would expect Lead Poisonings to be a common issue from things cooked in that pan. Other metals would give different possible problems or may be perfectly fine if they where Noble Metals that did not react with things. All I can say here is that that Old Cast Iron Fry Pan we used while on the sheep station mustering while heavy goes rusty when not used still cooks things as well as it did back in the 60's and builds up your arm muscles into the bargain. While it may be killing me slowly most of the modern highly processed foods also are as well so the real question is do you want to die from being positioned by the implements you use to cook things with or the things you are cooking?

Yes it is bad for your health but it has superior cooking qualities. Cast iron is the safest of all the metals if you're not prone to overdosing on Iron so it's great for women of reproductive age and growing children (due to needing extra iron) but not so great for men. The most inert material you can cook with is soda lime glass or borosilicate glass. Stay away from leaded glasses which leach lead.

It's hard to know what to believe with all this scientific info out there. I cook in what I have in the cupboard. At the end of the day, most foods we ingest probably have nasties in them i.e through farming, processing and the chemically contaminated world that we live in.

An excessive build up of anything in your body is not good and that includes Macca’s , KFC and all those sorts of lovely things ………lol

Well my opinion is aluminium is not good. HOWEVER - aluminium cookware that is non stick is ok - until the surface gets damaged - then I would not use them.

I work in a commercial kitchen, and we use all kinds of pot and pans, including Aluminium, I really don't think it matters.

Aluminium cookware is fine for short term same day use, but do not store anything in them overnight.

I have an induction stove top so have to have special pots not sure what they are made of but sure they are not aluminium

Stainless steel for me. If i end up eating steel i suppose it will only make me stronger...

The scientists also said avocados and eggs were bad for people, but then changed their minds. Aah pick and choose what you want to believe. We brought ourselves a new pot and pan set and it is aluminium. We have burnt the poor pot by forgetting to put water in it and it is still a little black on the bottom but it works fine and we do not have any problems with the set and use it every day.

Only use stainless steel saucepans and cast iron frypans

I prefer stain steel or cast iron pans and pots

I use stainless steel saucepans and frypans

Gotta eat kiddo

Great for boiling eggs, pasta, and heating up foods.

I think it’s not too bad, but i use cast iron skillets.

It's good to use this aluminium product

Prefer stainless steel cookware not telon coated

Well, teflon coated pans aren't considered healthy either...something's going to kill ya anyway..just live life!! I'm putting "scientists" on the same level as grubs!!

Got rid of my aluminium pots years ago. They pitted, which I didn't like and have used stainless steel or cast iron for any cooking.

Every thing is bad then good again we are all confused

I used to have set of copper bottom aluminum pans. Then we got a new stove with flat metal cook plates which made the pans rock because they were warped. I bought a set of Revere Ware stainless pans that I still use, along with cast iron pans and 2 ceramic frying pans.

cast iron and also stainless steel are good

BLUEY . I AM 76 YEARS OLD AND STILL REASONABLY HEALTHY AND FIT, AND EVERY YEAR I USE LARGE ALUMINIUM JAM PANS FOR COOKONG MY TOMATO SAUCE. HAS NOT HARMED ME.

If that is the biggest threat in ones life then you have no problems.

I 've go an induction cooktop, much safer because the 'elements' only get warm to the touch. More energy efficient also

I guess someone is just trying to buy the Truth and sell more of their Goods. It is interesting though. A battle in the Media Field. How does it compare with Rugby?

We purchased stainless steel and bessemer years ago and it was worth every penny!

I purchased stanless steel 30yrs ago and still using them.

Toss them out

Is tin foil wrap vaguely evil as well?

I find it harder to clean than stainless steel, so no longer use aluminium

confused

It is like our food one minute it is not healthy and then they come back and tell you it is.

they made pots, pans and drinking vessels out of wood, lead and many other things over the years. If its going to kill me then let it be so. Something will one day.

As a result of this research I no longer use aluminium to cook with, although I used to love the way it could be scrubbed clean so easily

Hmmm I’m not sure…..I just use what I have otherwise I would always be forking out for new pots which I can’t afford…there will always be opinions on all sorts of things these days.it drives me nuts. I’ve nursed for 50 years and never saw people with such related issues. Glass is probably better. Edited 02-Aug-22 08:03am

I reckon all this aluminum is what has caused most of our health problems today especially Alzheimer’s. I make sure I don’t buy any pans without reading their label and making sure it is aluminum free

Dare I suggest a few drops of cleansing ale after each meal because do we really know what our utensils are made of, best to forget all than try to remember what to or not to use otherwise the noise in the kitchen could be much louder than a specific other room in an otherwise quiet household.

Why do you think proper research takes so long? With every medical opinion on what is the right and wrong thing for your health, in 10 years' time the opinion will be the opposite, only to revert back in another 10 years time to what was advised in the first place and then a new opinion which may or may not be final in another 10 years' time. I think the old advice of "everything in moderation" is always the best view for anything when it is your health and following this logic, this includes using aluminium cookware in moderation.

I sometime use Aluminum Cookware to cook my food on.

I love cooking with stainless steel. I would not cook acidic food in aluminum. I don’t use Teflon or coated nonstick pots or pans. I feel I get enough poison from the medication my doctor gives me I don’t need toadd anything else.

Years ago, I read that aluminium cookware, such as the pitted stuff my Mum used when I was a kid, can increase the risk of Alzheimer's Disease - that's enough to scare me off using it! Mum & I bought stainless steel. Modern aluminium cookware is anodised, so the aluminium can't leach into the food. I'm still sticking with my stainless steel. Better safe than senile, lol!

Vegetarian - have not used cookware in decades - not one of my many issues :-)!

I have found stainless steel cookwear is the best and yes I did have aluminium ones years ago but threw them out.

Scientists are constantly saying one thing, then pulling back from what they said. Aluminium is fine.

Things are considered to be good one time and bad the other so I don’t bother worrying about if something is good or bad for me any more.

we use aluminium cookware about every other day - and have done for 50 years without ill effect - of course my Mother also did so so I've been eating aluminium for about 65 years now!
