I was going to buy a turkey roaster pan today and an elderly couple stopped me and told me to buy another one that was made of stainless steel instead of aluminum because aluminum does something to your brain. What is the story?Just curious. Does this also ring true for using a sheet of aluminum foil over baking sheets while cooking cookies or fries or something? I always coat my cookie sheets with foil. Just curious...
Don't know what it does to your brain, but it does dissolve and leach into the food, especially when salt comes into contact with it. Buy an enameled roasting pan, it will last your lifetime, and you can clean it with oven spray. When making cookies or cake, use parchment or even wax paper. It works really good, and parchment is non-stick. Wax paper is great for lining cake pans with, cut out the rings and line the insides with strips. After you remove the cake, peel off the wax paper and all the crumbs go with it. Makes them real nice to frost. I use wax paper in the microwave instead of paper towels or plastic wrap. It's very versitile and cheap!

No, the carburetor doesn't get that hot (you wouldn't want it to run hot because it carries gasoline and could ignite or explode unexpectedly) - besides, most cars today do not have a carburetor (they use a fuel injection system). They were probably referring to the exhaust manifold which is the hottest part on the engine - and certainly hot enough to cook food. You would have to figure out how to secure the food in a container to maintain contact with the manifold.
They were talking about Alzheimer's disease, there is a correlation between aluminum and the disease. Lots of things have it as an ingredient - baking powder, all sorts of stuff. I don't think a pan used 1 or 2 times a year will be harmful, but who knows? I got rid of my aluminum pots. I make piles of cookies at xmas, it is no big deal to wash the pan. It takes about 2 seconds and a tiny bit of elbow grease.
