[Greenbuilding] Aluminum pots & pans - WAS Induction cooking

[Kathy Cochran]

Do the ANODIZED Aluminum pots (such as Calphalon) carry the same warnings
about using aluminum that the "old style" pans have?  I suspect that the
anodization process makes them much safer to use, but I am only guessing.  I
would love to know if anyone out there has any more specific information
about this.

 

Thanks,

Most higher QUALITY aluminum pots have a disc on the bottom that contains
ferrous metals to better evenly distribute the heat. Those that don't
are--as I and others have pointed out--too cheap to waste your money on.
>From a sustainability standpoint, they're a total waste of resources.  (And
then there are the arguments against using aluminum which have also been
pointed out.)

hum,    
your off with your math by a factor thousand.


0,150 kWh
0,087 kWh

There is hardly any energy efficiency benefit versus natural gas cooking.

And for  induction cooking you need special pans .

Electric stovetop versus induction: 

 

.5 litre  water to a boil.

 

Kenmore electric stove:

 

1200 watt element/60 minute * 7.5 minute = 150kwh

 

Salton model 1081 induction cooker from Costco ($65) :

 

1310 watt / 60 minute * 4 minute = 87 kwh

 

A great way to help flatten the curve.
