Why is Aluminum Circle not Bad for Health to Make a Pan?
Aluminium Circle also named Aluminum Disc has been widely used in our daily life, it is one of the factors that improve human beings’ stepping to modern life at a higher level. It is being used in electronics, daily chemicals, medicine, culture and education, and auto parts. And it also being used in cookware, while there are surely some “rumors” of this huge star, saying that it is “toxic” to our bodies, after reading this article you will know that you are wrong, and you will know Aluminum in cookware is an unparalleled role which is really accelerating our speed to get a modern life at a higher level. Let’s see how we are wrong about aluminum in cookware.
Reasons Why Aluminum is OK to be Made into a Pan
Although aluminum will form aluminum oxide when it comes into contact with air, the “aluminum” in the aluminum oxide will not enter the food during the cooking process, unless your cooking temperature is as high as 2054°C (alumina melting point), so it is totally safe to use an Aluminum Pan to cook. But you also need to remember that if the food is cooked It is high acid and high salt, so the aluminum element may be precipitated because aluminum is easier to combine with animal and vegetable proteins.
The Process Of Aluminum Circle Manufacturing
Let’s learn about the aluminum circle production process:
- CNC（Computer Numerical Control) fully automatic. The production line starts from the unwinding of the coil until the entire roll of material is completely blanked. There is no need for manual contact with any materials and no adjustments. This fundamentally eliminates the hidden dangers of production safety and product quality of ordinary punching.
- The line can directly use the coil to produce wafers, without the need for slitting and cross-cutting of the coil, which reduces the production process, reduces the production cost, and reduces the possibility of damaging the surface of the coil.
- The aluminium circle unwinding and blanking production line makes full use of the width of the coil and is controlled by a high-precision servo motor drive system to reduce the distance between the wafer and the distance from the water to the edge of the material, and radically reduce the amount of waste.
- Due to the modular mold design, when converting circle production specifications, the conversion time can be reduced to less than 15 minutes. The diameter of the discs that can be produced ranges from 85mm to 700mm.
- Advanced uncoiling system, six-fold leveling machine, high-rigidity mechanical press, automatic palletizing system, etc., ensure the high quality of aluminium disc products.
Advantages of aluminum pan
- Aluminum pan is very light
People who often cook may feel deeply that even if you don’t cook in an iron pan, the weight of it is quite heavy. If you are weaker as a woman, you probably need to use two hands.
The aluminum circle pan perfectly solves this problem. Usually, a pan with a diameter of 16 cm has a weight of about 1 catty. Even if the inside is filled with soup ingredients, the total weight is about 3 patties. Not to mention women, even Children with greater strength can easily control it.
- Shorten the cooking time
The cooking speed of the food in the pot made of the aluminum ring is fast. This is because the thermal conductivity of aluminum is 5 times that of iron and 15 times that of stainless steel, and the thickness of the sidewall of the pot made of aluminum ring is very thin, so the thermal conductivity is very good.
- Powerful
The performance of the pot made of the aluminum ring is very comprehensive, basically, it is good at frying and stewing.
Q&A of Aluminum Circle in Cookware
Q: How to prove the aluminum is safe in making pans?
A: The European Union, which has the most stringent food safety, has special standards for aluminum tableware EN601, EN602. These standards limit the content of other impurities and compounds in aluminum tableware. It shows that aluminum itself is safe.
Q: In some sense, Aluminum is bad for our health, is it still okay to use it as a cooking tool?
A: Talking about toxicity without the dose is deceptive. At a dose greater than 40 mg/kg body weight/day, aluminum begins to be toxic to the human body. This is about the equivalent of an adult eating an aluminum ring every day, is it possible? In fact, oral medicines for treating gastric ulcers contain aluminum doses greater than 100 mg/day.
Q: Is long-term use of aluminum pans harmful?
A: Except for a very small number of people who are obviously allergic to aluminum, it is basically harmless. Aluminum is not a heavy metal and is easy to be excreted from the body. The harm of excessive intake does not exceed the impact caused by excessive intake of salt. Similarly, the intake of metal ions aluminum or sodium will affect the absorption of calcium and iron, which affects only a little. This is the origin of the so-called anemia rumors.
Q: What tableware is safest?
A: It is of course the business’s hope to replace cheap aluminum tableware and use high-priced stainless steel tableware. Therefore, the theory of aluminum hazards is widespread. In fact, 18% of chromium and 8% of nickel in stainless steel are recognized as carcinogenic heavy metals, but they are not easy to dissolve in food (precipitation like high temperature and high acid-base). If the same dose is taken, when aluminum becomes toxic, chromium and nickel have already killed people. What about non-stick pans? The same is an inexplicable synthetic chemical substance, and its long-term effects need to be confirmed. Therefore, there is no absolutely safe tableware material. As long as it is metal-type tableware, it is necessary to avoid or reduce acid-alkaline cooking as much as possible. For non-stick pans, avoid the coating peeling off. The so-called pure iron pan has impurities, and other harmful metals are mixed with iron alloys.
