Aluminum is one of the most used metals in human societies. One of the most important characteristics of this metal, which distinguishes it from other metals, is its lightness.
On the other hand, the heat transfer of this metal is good and fast. Based on this, the idea of producing light dishes with fast heat transfer was formed in the manufacturers of household dishes, and nowadays in many kitchens, aluminum dishes may occupy the largest number.
Recommendations to better apply aluminum containers
1) As much as possible, do not use aluminum containers without coating for cooking or storing food. These coatings (such as Teflon) prevent the contact of the metal surface of the container with the food and the entry of aluminum into the food.
2) Cooking acidic or alkaline foods in these containers will change the color and turn them black. Also, keeping water and solutions with high solutes also cause this. Although this dark layer does not affect the quality of the food, it may accelerate and facilitate the entry of aluminum metal into the food. Nowadays, most of the people who use these dishes remove the desired dark layer in these dishes by grinding. To remove this layer, immersing the container in a solution of lemon juice or vinegar will also be useful.
The effects of aluminum containers on the quality of foods
People who use these containers after a period of time, which may last from a few weeks to a few months depending on the type of use, face discoloration and darkness inside these containers. The main reason for this situation is boiling the water inside these containers, which is usually associated with the entry of aluminum metal into the food and water.
