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.
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.
@@0m13dude your body needs iron but it doesn't need aluminium. Here's a free tip for you my friend: Only trust internet autists when making choices about health these experts are idiots who only read headlines over the internet and have no idea of the nuances.
@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

No, it is Poison. Aluminium is present only in traces in your food, but if you cook food using aluminium everyday, you already damaged the nerves of your family.
I share your concerns. Both of us are the minority in this comment section here, I guess.😂 Here is another source you might find interesting: "Lead Safe Mama" does consumer goods testing with XRF technology and the majority of pressure cookers she tested, tested positive for very high amounts of lead in the pressure valve, specially Indian ones, although this seems to be a worldwide problem. She is out of the US. You can google her for further details.
Originally in india people used to use clay , iron, copper and brass. Aluminum came later as cheaper, lightweight alternatives . Along with that came the nonstick and pressure cookers.

I noticed long time back lemon rice wrapped in aluminum foil , that was brought to a hot picnic day had small holes on top. the acid in the lemon reacted with foil. I never use Aluminum pots after that. No Teflon, No Aluminum, no Microwave in our house. In olden days people used clay pots to cook soups, rice etc. those are the healthiest.

@vishal, thing is healthy people have the capacity to eliminate it is what Ashok said, now tell me definition of healthy or who falls under healthy vs unhealthy, I am not supporting fittuber or this guy, but considering people who watch fittuber are unhealthy and want to become healthy and watch fittuber, should unhealthy people consume Aluminum now ?

Is it safe to store cut veggies in plastic containers/ziploc plastic covers inside the refrigerator for one or two days before use?likewise can small onions and garlic be peeled and refrigerated? Pls make a video on it.
@krishashok first of all thanks for debunking the myth. Even I am the one trying to avoid AL in cooking. But I have more deeper question to this one. I was using AL pressure cooker & Kadhai (not a plated one). The reason I stopped using was it gets blackish from inside and when trying to wash I could see the blackish or greyish water after scrubbing with steel gauze. I am a lot worried about if it can come in day to wash then it will also get mixed in food. Would you be able to shed some light on this one? Really appreciate
when you scrub your cookware like that, what you're removing is the aluminium oxyde layer on top, which will reform on surface after some exposition to oxygen, later.
Google "Lead Safe Mama". She does consumer goods testing with xrf technology. She found that in most pressure cooers except very few exceptions have pressure valves that contain lots of lead. The Indian ones she tested tested all positive for lead. Moreover cast Aluminium is aso very often lead conterminated. Personally I don't use AL at all in cooking, but when I read the comment section I discovered pretty much 99% of people are very fond of it and are very happy to getting the comforting news in the video. I beg to differ, haha, but that's just me.😂 But no matter if people like AL or not, in terms of pressure cookers folks, please look up this information. It's no laughing matter. One question, I have though. Many people in the coment section thank the host for the scientific debunking. What part of it was especially scientific? Just him saying that? 😅😅😅 Whatever, that's just me, a random bloke on the internet. Coming back to your question: I think your instinkt is spot on. I would also not feel safe using it.
Thank you Sir…. This video is very helpful specially for me… my parents been using Aluminum vessels for the longest time… just because we live near sea areas ( Aluminum doesn’t catch rust )… 🙏🏻

I do not think aluminum vessels would react much with acidic dishes anyway because of the oxide layer , however if you are scraping the oxide layer with a metal spatula then there is a chance of aluminum oxide build up in food. Correct me if I am wrong 😅

Your video got me thinking. Is tin or "eyam" toxic? When I was young, rasam was always made in a tin pot, "eya chombu" but fear of toxicity saw this pot banned from our kitchens. But rasam has never tasted as good since then. So what's the science behind tin?
Hasn’t been well researched to be honest, but my guess is that tin vessels contain a tiny amount of lead as well (tin and lead usually occur together as minerals, which is why the Tamil term for both is eeyam), and a tiny bit of leached lead is what improves flavour. Again - this is speculation, I’m trying to work with a materials scientist to verify this

It's a trivial precaution for most of us to avoid using Aluminium cookware directly. Maybe it makes a difference in the long term, maybe not. We'll probably never really know but at least it shows we're thinking about long term health which is always good - as long as we don't get too hung up on it.
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?
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.
If this happened, we’d have known by now. In any case, when people have kidney or liver issues, doctors might recommend using materials that don’t leach into food.
@@krishashok Thanks for prompt response however it would have been nice if there is a warning especially for people suffering from kidney or liver issues bcz Indian middle class is highly depend on aluminum cook wares, and hardly visits doctor until unless they encounter major health issues.

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!
Great so which utensil to use for cooking rice ? Are the rice cookers good ones ,as after few years of use it's base gets eroded Can you please suggest what utensil to use for rice cooking ?
Usually most things are never as good as they are hyped and never as bad as they are villainized. And in general, cookware makes very little difference
Our grand parents used brass and bronze coated with tin, iron and earthen ware mostly. But my parents switched to steel and aluminium. Okay can you please shed some light on the nutritional value in the cooked food? As far as i know, i may not be true but i check with some ayurvedic practitioners, they told me that cooking in earthen ware preserves almost all of the nutritional value, brass bronze and iron retains around 70% of the nutritional value. Not sure about aluminum. Also steel is considered as a rajasic metal and aluminium a tamogun metal. Earthen brass bronze and silver ware are considered satvic. Please shed some light.
Cookware plays little or no role in retaining nutrition. You can eat healthy or unhealthy food cooked in any kind of cookware. Focus on what you are eating, not what cookware or appliance is used
Thanks for debunking myths around aluminium. I was contemplating throwing away my really good heavy Kadais that are so versatile and easy to maintain. But held onto it .. Keep these coming .. some of these myths sound so scientific that you end up believing in them ..
Aren't all aluminum vessels anodized? Like when we perform experiments even in H2SO4 we have to grind the aluminium for the shiny pure aluminium to get exposed as it anodizes with atmospheric oxygen and forms an inert coating (al2o3) over aluminum, that is also why aluminium never corodes?
Thanks for breaking the myth. How about Brass and Bronze cookware? Ancient grandmoms were using them and now it’s back as healthy cookware. Would like a video on these metals too!
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
Thanks alot..my sister and her husband they are very conscious about all those stuff which is related to healthy food.they are buying all the expensive things which i can't afford.but They keep on telling about these things and they ask me to buy and use.now i'm happy that i can use my aluminium utensils without fear.

Pl.explain if alluminium enters in to your body from any food ; does it helps the body in any form? If it is harmful,bthen it is better to avoid cooking in any alluminium vessel. It deos develops scraches in the surface indicating removal of small particals which may enter in to your stomach ..
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 RUclips 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.

Not in the UK. People historically stainless steel and before that cast iron. Yes expensive and this is why it was commonly given as a wedding gift. Lasts forever unlike modern cookware.. Aluminium used to be expensive, but now dirt cheap and toxic. Eveb in deoderants..
I was my mother’s care provider throughout the 10 years that she was going through her journey with Alzheimer’s. There are still several groups that believe aluminum indeed can “contribute” to dementia and Alzheimer’s. I’m going to err on the side of caution and say “when in doubt, throw it out!” It’s simply not worth the risk when there are easy solutions available to us.
Hello. Very helpful video. My mom is concerned about leaving food in aluminium pots after cooking to store it. She is switching to steel now? Do you know if storing in aluminium is okay?

@@itmaslanka Which study are you referring to?!
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.
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.
@@0m13dude your body needs iron but it doesn't need aluminium.
Here's a free tip for you my friend:
Only trust internet autists when making choices about health these experts are idiots who only read headlines over the internet and have no idea of the nuances.
@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
Anodised Al renders it non reactive

You single handedly debunk the nonsense spewed by youtubers like Fittuber. Great job!!
Fittuber is a total nut job or just a hustler who has learned to milk the uneducated nutjobs with no critical thinking skills; I happened to watch one of his videos because it showed up on my feed but couldn’t get past a couple of minutes due to the mind numbing level of pseudoscience being spouted.
So true. Fittuber I've never trusted.
@vishal, thing is healthy people have the capacity to eliminate it is what Ashok said, now tell me definition of healthy or who falls under healthy vs unhealthy, I am not supporting fittuber or this guy, but considering people who watch fittuber are unhealthy and want to become healthy and watch fittuber, should unhealthy people consume Aluminum now ?
@@arjuns1012 as he said, aluminium doesn't make a difference. Having a balanced diet does
@@VishalKhopkar1296 that’s exactly my point, neither this guy is a doctor/expert on body physiology and fittuber guy too, to let general public know what is good or what is bad. Neither this guy says amount of milligram atleast, which at that point one would put an effort to find out what their processing. So blindly taking this guys advice is equally bad. One is spewing based out of ayurveda, one is spewing based out of common science. Criticize both, so that they give proper information and answers and make their future videos better.

Our grandparents used clay pots and an iron skillet. Still nowadays,clay pots are used.
Clay pots painted with lead containing paint
Clay naturally contains aluminium oxide.
Being from South Canara/ Dakshina Kannada region, both My grandmothers cooked in clay pots, In olden times they used firewood after LPG was available they used gas but the cooking was mostly done in earthenware they lived to cross 80+ My parents mostly used SS and SS with copper bottom, My dad passed away at 62 my mom is diabetic with hypertension at 69.

Pls make a video on it.
@krishashok first of all thanks for debunking the myth. Even I am the one trying to avoid AL in cooking. But I have more deeper question to this one.
I was using AL pressure cooker & Kadhai (not a plated one). The reason I stopped using was it gets blackish from inside and when trying to wash I could see the blackish or greyish water after scrubbing with steel gauze.
I am a lot worried about if it can come in day to wash then it will also get mixed in food.
Would you be able to shed some light on this one?
Really appreciate
Clean using lemon peels. Add the lemon peels while cooking your food
when you scrub your cookware like that, what you're removing is the aluminium oxyde layer on top, which will reform on surface after some exposition to oxygen, later.
Google "Lead Safe Mama". She does consumer goods testing with xrf technology. She found that in most pressure cooers except very few exceptions have pressure valves that contain lots of lead. The Indian ones she tested tested all positive for lead. Moreover cast Aluminium is aso very often lead conterminated. Personally I don't use AL at all in cooking, but when I read the comment section I discovered pretty much 99% of people are very fond of it and are very happy to getting the comforting news in the video. I beg to differ, haha, but that's just me.😂 But no matter if people like AL or not, in terms of pressure cookers folks, please look up this information. It's no laughing matter. One question, I have though. Many people in the coment section thank the host for the scientific debunking. What part of it was especially scientific? Just him saying that? 😅😅😅 Whatever, that's just me, a random bloke on the internet.
Coming back to your question: I think your instinkt is spot on. I would also not feel safe using it.
Thank you Sir…. This video is very helpful specially for me… my parents been using Aluminum vessels for the longest time… just because we live near sea areas ( Aluminum doesn’t catch rust )… 🙏🏻

I now direct my family, friends, and patients to your channel so they learn to think in first principles style. Thank you!!!❤
I do not think aluminum vessels would react much with acidic dishes anyway because of the oxide layer , however if you are scraping the oxide layer with a metal spatula then there is a chance of aluminum oxide build up in food. Correct me if I am wrong 😅
Simply fantastic. Thank you for such beautiful presentation. Be blessed.

Your video got me thinking. Is tin or "eyam" toxic? When I was young, rasam was always made in a tin pot, "eya chombu" but fear of toxicity saw this pot banned from our kitchens. But rasam has never tasted as good since then. So what's the science behind tin?
Hasn’t been well researched to be honest, but my guess is that tin vessels contain a tiny amount of lead as well (tin and lead usually occur together as minerals, which is why the Tamil term for both is eeyam), and a tiny bit of leached lead is what improves flavour. Again - this is speculation, I’m trying to work with a materials scientist to verify this

It's a trivial precaution for most of us to avoid using Aluminium cookware directly. Maybe it makes a difference in the long term, maybe not. We'll probably never really know but at least it shows we're thinking about long term health which is always good - as long as we don't get too hung up on it.
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?
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.

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!

Steaming is always preferred unless you are short of time and/or dealing with very starchy root vegetables
Our grand parents used brass and bronze coated with tin, iron and earthen ware mostly. But my parents switched to steel and aluminium. Okay can you please shed some light on the nutritional value in the cooked food? As far as i know, i may not be true but i check with some ayurvedic practitioners, they told me that cooking in earthen ware preserves almost all of the nutritional value, brass bronze and iron retains around 70% of the nutritional value. Not sure about aluminum. Also steel is considered as a rajasic metal and aluminium a tamogun metal. Earthen brass bronze and silver ware are considered satvic. Please shed some light.
Cookware plays little or no role in retaining nutrition. You can eat healthy or unhealthy food cooked in any kind of cookware. Focus on what you are eating, not what cookware or appliance is used
Thanks for debunking myths around aluminium. I was contemplating throwing away my really good heavy Kadais that are so versatile and easy to maintain. But held onto it .. Keep these coming .. some of these myths sound so scientific that you end up believing in them ..
Aren't all aluminum vessels anodized?
Like when we perform experiments even in H2SO4 we have to grind the aluminium for the shiny pure aluminium to get exposed as it anodizes with atmospheric oxygen and forms an inert coating (al2o3) over aluminum, that is also why aluminium never corodes?
Yeah
Thanks for breaking the myth. How about Brass and Bronze cookware? Ancient grandmoms were using them and now it’s back as healthy cookware. Would like a video on these metals too!
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

Pl.explain if alluminium enters in to your body from any food ; does it helps the body in any form? If it is harmful,bthen it is better to avoid cooking in any alluminium vessel. It deos develops scraches in the surface indicating removal of small particals which may enter in to your stomach ..
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 RUclips 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.
Anodised aluminiumnis a coating of aluminum oxide on aluminium is as hard as diamond in sratch resistance. And conducts heat very well.

It’s alright. You can sue aluminium if you want, but stainless steel is ideal

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
What about boiling milk in alluminium vessels?
Is it safe
Not in the UK. People historically stainless steel and before that cast iron. Yes expensive and this is why it was commonly given as a wedding gift. Lasts forever unlike modern cookware.. Aluminium used to be expensive, but now dirt cheap and toxic. Eveb in deoderants..
But pressure cooker was also having pure aluminium can we cook meat (kari kulambu and chukka varuval) for long duration?
I was my mother’s care provider throughout the 10 years that she was going through her journey with Alzheimer’s. There are still several groups that believe aluminum indeed can “contribute” to dementia and Alzheimer’s. I’m going to err on the side of caution and say “when in doubt, throw it out!” It’s simply not worth the risk when there are easy solutions available to us.
What about the aluminium that gets added to the food by scratching the spoon and cooking vessel? Please clrify .
Hello. Very helpful video. My mom is concerned about leaving food in aluminium pots after cooking to store it. She is switching to steel now? Do you know if storing in aluminium is okay?
Iam not sure if it is okay to leave cooked food in an aluminium vessel but I prefer to transfer it to steel utensil coz I have observed that if we leave food for long hours the vessel forms some kind of white matter, even this happens for storing water. I prefer to be on safer side. Just check once u will know it
How about Indolium which is an alloy, please explain about that vessel too
what about aluminum pressure cooker?
Thnx for detailed explanation especially after 4:00 the advice was healthy
Thank you for your rational Thoughts. I love aluminium Cookware. My gut told me exactly the same thing you said
Thank you!

Wonderfully said and noted here. I do like clad in the middle aluminum(good conductor). Why pressure ur organs with long,leached aluminum in the food. Let go many pure aluminum vessels !!
Now all my doubts regarding aluminium have disappeared in thin air. Thank you so much for breaking the myths about this amazing metal🎉
Why do boiled potatoes turn black when cooked in Al pots?
Great Video!
Could you please do one video on cooking oils and which ones are the best?
