How to tell the difference between aluminum pot and aluminum alloy pot?

In fact, there is no need to distinguish between aluminum pot and aluminum alloy pots, because aluminum pot is the floorboard of aluminum alloy. Aluminum has the characteristics of light weight, good electrical and thermal conductivity and oxidation resistance. The aluminum pot made of it is light and thin, with good heat transfer, fuel saving and time saving.

It is generally recommended not to use aluminum tableware as much as possible, and not to use aluminum pot for high-temperature frying, because high temperature or the collision and friction between metal shovel and aluminum pot during cooking may release aluminum. In addition, aluminum pot is not suitable for dishes with strong acid and alkali. If you keep food, you'd better use glassware.

Precautions for using aluminum pot:

1, don't use aluminum products to contain acidic or alkaline foods, such as juice, wine, soy sauce, vinegar, etc.

2. Avoid mixing eggs in aluminum products. Egg whites turn gray when they touch aluminum. It is best to choose porcelain products to stir eggs.

3. Don't use aluminum products to store flour for a long time. Starch in flour will produce organic acids after fermentation, which will corrode aluminum. If it is stored for a long time, it will produce carbonic acid gas, and there is moisture in the air. Aluminum oxide, the protective film on aluminum surface, will be corroded by organic acids, water and carbonic acid gas and rust.

4. Avoid food left in aluminum pot for a long time. Aluminum has poor corrosion resistance. Alkali, acid and salt can react with aluminum. If people eat the food stored in aluminum pot for a long time, it will do harm to people's health.

5, avoid using aluminum products to decoct medicine. Decocting medicine with aluminum products will make the medicine ineffective, and may also produce toxic substances harmful to human body.
