Question:

Is it bad to use the disposable aluminum pans?

I use them since my old baking pan started to rust and get disgusting and I usually cook my chicken for over an hour to maybe 2 and with the disposable aluminum its 81 cents and I can cook a lot of chicken I usually cook a lot of legs or quarters and it last me up to 2 weeksAnd I wrap them up in aluminum foilI wanted to know if using the aluminum was bad for the food when you use the disposable aluminum in the oven does it leak and get in the foodI use it like once every 2-3 weeks when I cook chicken.

I don't remember a time when noting was being recycles in my householdBack in the 30s (Yes, I AM that old), my mother used to save the tag ends of bars of soap, place them in water and make her own liquid soap for cleaningDuring WWII, we saved the fat that dripped from meat for use in munitions factories and got ration points for itMore recently, I backed my township getting one of the first recycling grants in the countyNow, it is pretty much universalThe township buys the cans and we now have single-stream recycling; the homeowner does not have to separate the materialsWhile the township does collect brush for chipping and leaves for composting, I have been doing it myself longerThe township distributes a free booklet on the subject, one I wrote.
i barely ever recycled but one day a woman came knocking on my door, i answered she was working with some recycle company, she told me about recycling and gave me a few pamphletsi was really bored so i read them all from cover to cover after that i started recycling all the time and i even convinced my friends to recycle too!
where i live (scotland) we have 3 full sized wheelie bins one for general household waste one for garden waste and one for paper and plastics we also have smaller box type bins for glass and metal and when the bin lorry comes to do its pick up the recycleable waste is emptied into seperate sections of the truck then the truck takes it to be recycled so its basically just lazyness over here if you dont recycle
I say better to use a disposable one than a rusty one!! I don't think people would use them for turkeys if they were unsafe!! You would not be able to buy them if they were unsafe! I don't think( I mean rust is probably worse!)
I have been recycling my whole lifeALMOSTI never really had a fun story of recyclingI just hate it when people leave trash aroundWe need to make the world a better placeSo, let's tell our friends to start picking up the old trash laying around and start recycling.
