I have a super maid cookware pan from around 1930-ish and I wanted to know if there were any simple tests I could use to figure out its chemical compostion. I left my mass spectrometer and chromotagrophy equipment at my friends so thats not possible for the moment.

Where can I buy very heavy aluminum cookware?

Ann K asked:


I have owned for over 30 years several aluminum pots with”Commercial Spinning Company”,”aluminum” and “Toledo Ohio” stamped on the lids. Commercial Aluminum was sold a couple of times, and is currently owned by Rubbermaid who makes Calphalon. But they don’t seem to make this kind now. Does anyone still make this heavy cookware?

Is it really unhealthy to use aluminum cookware? What should you use instead – cast iron?

CassandraM asked:


Someone told me that aluminum cookware can ultimately contribute to dementia. That sounds a little extreme and I don’t know if it’s true (hopefully not because I’ve been using that kind of cookware since 1990…)

But if you go with an alternative, should it be teflon coated? Old fashioned cast iron cookware? What (if anything) would be a healthier option?
