The only alumin(i)um things I use are a couple of hard-anodised baking/roasting trays, and I'm phasing them out as well because you can't make gravy in them on an induction hob! Also, stuff sticks to them big time and you can't put them in the dishwasher. In the past, anything aluminium that I had had a non-stick coating, so never any direct contact with food. Of course, there's always aluminium foil...

(I understand that if you go back far enough you find that the American spelling "aluminum" is the "correct" one).
