My momma knew this more than 25 years ago. She used to cook rice and plain dal in aluminum utensils, and didn't cook curry or gravy sabzi in aluminium utensils. She would say aluminium reacts with sourness of Tomato/tamarind in curry. She isn't a science graduate, but she's avid reader and new all these things. She's 68 now.

Aluminium is a highly reactive metal. While this is normally a bad thing for cookware, pure Al instantly reacts with atmospheric oxygen and create a barrier coating of Aluminium Oxide which acts as a strong protective coating. Aluminium oxide is strong stuff - it takes a very substantial acid to break it down, and if the food you are consuming is that acidic, the extra Al consumed is among the least of your problems.

@0m13 11 ай бұрын

Define "highly reactive", because it is Oxygen which is highly reactive -- it is the second most electro-negative element after Fluorine; so nearly every metal is going to form an oxide (e.g. rust over Iron). One cannot assert something is highly reactive based on interaction with Oxygen alone. If one is worried about strong acids, the acid in our stomach (HCl, with pH that can go as low as 1.0) is stronger than most things one would ingest unless one is gulping down HCl or H2SO4.

@0m13 I guess you misread the first line, He's talking about metals. Aluminum is a highly reactive METAL. Reactivity can be measured and grouped into three broad categories (Reacts with Water, Reacts with Acid, and Highly Unreactive) Aluminum comes at the top list of Reactions with Acid, hence it is a highly reactive metal And what I guess the original comment meant was Aluminum being reactive will produce an Aluminum Oxide layer which will prevent any Aluminum-Food contact in the first place so no Aluminum contamination for the food

As someone who likes sour dishes and has no problem with leftovers, I never used to like the tomato saar reacting with the aluminum pot the next day. I also loved to scrape off and eat the browned bits of biryani at the bottom. I started cooking biryani in the oven in aluminum trays covered with foil and I noticed the steam from the biryani collecting on the foil, melting off holes in the foil and depositing it onto the biryani. Aluminum cookware is a rarity in the US because of an autopsy that found aluminum deposits in the brain of a man with Alzheimer’s. Aluminum is a biological toxin. Yes, the body eliminates it, but for some people due to unknown causes which increase blood-brain barrier permeability, it lets aluminum deposit in the brain. Also, parents and grandparents used other dishes besides aluminum, like clay pots. In my opinion, dishes that have a lot of oil don’t readily allow the acid to react with the aluminum. Because of other available options, I have transitioned almost entirely away from aluminum and I am happy to not have any cookware that reacts with and leaches into my food.

This Guz is a hoax. This guy doesnt know what his grand parents have used in their kitchens.... Let me tell you: your grand parents used Clay vessels for cooking rice and curries, cast iron pans for making dosas....Not Aluminium you half-knowledge disgrace... Dont support such people. Al vessels are not GOOD in Kitchen.... Use it at your own risk

Something to also consider is the origin of the cookware and the quality of the aluminum used. Is it food grade aluminum made in a reputable factory from a reputable source? Or is it recycled from who knows what? There are videos on KZbin of artisanal cookware makers in India where they would use all kinds of aluminum scraps, from bicycle components to car engine intake manifolds, radiators, electric conductors; anything aluminum would all go together in a furnace to melt and become cookware. The problem with this is many of these parts are made of different alloys containing other metals to give them specific properties such as tensile strength, resistance to cracking from heat cycles, high pressure, etc. They can include various levels of tin, lead, zinc, silver, copper, chromium, iron, and other metals. Some of these parts may be welded or brazed together, introducing even more contaminants. While it is technically possible to separate aluminum from these other metals, it was clear in the videos I've seen that they were not doing that at all. The melted aluminum would become discs that would be pressed to form cookware and that was that. You don't really know what's in there and what can leach into food later.

We use a rice cooker and the cooked rice remains in that vessel till it’s consumed and that could be from mid morning all the way till night! Now do you advise us to remove the removal of remains of lunch into a glass or steel bowl?

But what about the non-stick cookware that urban folks use today? There are so many types and they make cooking easy, but are they safe? How do you figure?

@Arts11234 11 ай бұрын

Most non stick cookware sold are safe Because the non stick layer's chemical composition needs approval before selling it in masses. These non stick layers need right temperature, good surface finish, adequate cooling to adhere to the utensil's surface which works only for a specific temperature i.e a hard to alter the process. Only the teflon which is made using PFOA is considered as bad(not toxic enough though, needs a very long exposure time) if ingested well on the other hand it is an old techniques which is not used these days. And you should be more worried about micro plastics in food instead of these baseless accusation against teflon use, micro platics' adverse effects are still under research and currently there is no concrete research or report that shows micro plastics causes a steep rise in pulmonary diseases doesn't means it's safe.

Thank you for providing scientific and research backed evidence about food and its consumption. A small request - can you please make a video on whether it is ok to cut vegetables and then store them in the fridge? or buy cut up vegetables from the market and store them in the fridge? How long do these last? Specically vegetables like cabbage and beans. Thanks in advance.

@rituparna.bhowmik 5 ай бұрын

Sir, thank you so much for this very informative video! I literally had questions in my mind due to some recent experience & started googling, when I remembered, Ah! there is Krish Ashok, He must have surely covered it! So, recently I observed that when I kept some items like home-fermented dosa batter in an old aluminium bowl, some batter near the rim or inner wall of the bowl turned grey. Is consuming this batter or using such bowls safe? Also, I tend to reuse glass wine bottles to store drinking water in the fridge. With time, the inner walls of the bottle's screw caps (which I think are usually made out of aluminium) start becoming black & this black residue sticks to the portion of the glass bottle where the cap is screwed and interferes with the water we drink. Is this safe? Really looking forward to your reply!

However amounts leached from aluminum vessels are very small usually. As for copper, there's a disease named Indian childhood cirrhosis which was prevalent in children who had food from copper vessels.

Most Scientific safety studies does not consider chronic inflammation that is caused that leads to other major issues including cancers. Effects are not immediate so its immpossible to trace the cause. Reason why no doctor or any clinical test can tell you what caused the cancer.

There is a tendency to automatically glorify the past as "safe and healthy". Just use what is convenient. Cookware choices make little or no difference in contrast to what you eat and how much you eat
