My daughter informed me that she needs 30 (or more) servings of chili for a community dinner she is working for. The largest pot I have is a 14 quart Maganalite Aluminum stock pot. Can I make chili in it successfully just this once or should I make it in my two or three smaller pots that aren't aluminum? I have read on line that some do use their maganalites for chili...I just don't know what to think. I know I could, but will the flavor be affected? |

Hmm....Probably won't hurt the pan nor the chili....and the pan will come out nice and bright...
But I would avoid it ( notice I didn't say WOULDN'T use).
Do you have an enamel roaster? That would work....brown the meat and onions in the magnalite and then add the tomatoes to the roaster.

| For years (before the world said that aluminum was bad with acid foods) I made all my chili and other like-foods in my Club Aluminum Dutch Oven. It's all I had. I didn't have any problems with my food tasting weird or making us sick. Having said this -- I never left food sit in it either, I always quickly stored the food in Tupperware. (Is that now a no-no too?) |
