Question:

How dangerous is it to roast tomatoes on aluminum foil?

I roasted tomatoes for a tomato soup recipe, and did it on aluminum foil to make cleanup easierAfter I was done, I remembered you're not supposed to cook tomatoes in an aluminum or other reactive panI'm wondering if there's any danger in going ahead and making the soup, or if I should toss them outThis was my main crop of tomatoes for the year, so I really don't want to toss them unless there's a substantial risk for the wife and I, or our kids.Thanks in advance for any advice!

Answer:

I think that you will find that its ok to use them but where it may be of concern is that the acid in the tomatoes may have reacted with the aluminium in the foil and may affect the taste but not the quality have a look at this website for more information Next time use a parchment paper or a bake paper instead and you won't have these problems
