Aluminium pots

we use teflon pans but i also read somewhere that using teflon is also not so good! i think the best type of pan is cast iron? i will try to change our pots when i have extra budget :)

i'm not sure if we are using aluminum pots but is it the same as teflon? i read too that teflon coated pans are not good for our health and the environment. i would love to have a bunch of cast iron pans though (they say that those are the best).

I use what is called Anodized Aluminum Cookware. It is light weight which I need because the regular stainless steel is just too heavy for me. The anodization process hardens the surface of aluminum cookware making it non-stick, scratch-resistant and easy to clean. This cook ware doesn't react to acidic foods such as tomatoes and lemon juice. You get more aluminum in antacids containing aluminum and antiperspirants which contain aluminum. I don't use those teflon pans very much because the teflon comes off and you have to keep replacing them. They also give off fumes that can be toxic over a period of time.
