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.)

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.
