Are aluminum alloy pots harmful to the body?

Modern people's cooking technology is very advanced. Almost anything can be made into various delicious dishes. These achievements are inseparable from people's renovation of kitchen utensils, especially the most commonly used cooking utensils such as frying pans, which are the basic tools for people to cook food. The material of cooking utensils has begun to use aluminum alloy, but many people are worried that aluminum alloy will have side effects on the body. Let's take a look at whether aluminum alloy pots are harmful to the body? What should we pay attention to?

Aluminum alloy pots are non-toxic if used correctly.

Reason: Aluminum alloy pressure cookers are all anodized after forming, so that a very dense oxide film is formed on the surface of the aluminum alloy. Although the thickness of this film is not large, about 10-20 microns, its hardness is relatively high. As long as you use a bamboo, wooden or plastic rice shovel, the aluminum oxide film will not be damaged. Using a metal shovel with a flat and smooth end will not be a big problem as long as you don't scrape it hard, and it will not cause the aluminum to dissolve or fall off. If this oxide film is damaged, since aluminum is an extremely active element, it will be immediately oxidized in the air to form a hard aluminum oxide film, thereby protecting the aluminum body from further oxidation and playing a good protective role. In this way, under normal circumstances, very little aluminum ions escape. You can use it with confidence.

Precautions for using aluminum alloy pots:

During use, it is necessary to prevent chemical substances from corroding aluminum.

1. Do not use it to burn alkaline or acidic foods.

2. Do not use it to cook foods or soups with high salt content for a long time.

3. Clean and dry immediately after use, and do not leave food or soup in the pot for too long.

4. When not in use, try to place it in a dry place without excessive smoke.

5. If you accidentally burn the pot, do not scrape or shovel it hard.

6. Aluminum alloy pans are not suitable for use as frying pans. Aluminum frying pans are subjected to back and forth stirring and friction during use, and the reaction of acids, alkalis and salts with them can easily increase the risk of excessive aluminum intake by the human body.

7. When using aluminum alloy pots, be sure to choose products from regular manufacturers; the materials of counterfeit and inferior products are unreliable, and other harmful elements in the alloy are uncontrollable.
