Is that wise? Al cookware has questionable safety.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium#Health_concerns

These guys recommend stainless or cast Fe. http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=dailytip&dbid=92



From your wikipedia link: Although the use of aluminium cookware has not been shown to lead to aluminium toxicity in general


> Al cookware has questionable safety.

Aluminum yes, but hard anodized is alumina which is a different compound, also called ruby and emerald. It's very very hard (as you can tell since it makes gemstones) and completely inert to cooking materials.

Confusing aluminum and hard anodized is like confusing chlorine and table salt.


Using Aluminum cookware does not result in a significant ingestion of Aluminum, hard anodized Aluminum even less so.
