[net.cooks] foil-don"t do what I did!

Pineapple Upside Down Cake does the same thing to foil; I assume it is the acid
in the pineapple.

In general - DO NOT USE ALUMINUM for anything.  It has a tendency to
dissolve under the slightest provocation.  In particular you should never
cook anything acidic in an aluminum pan.  Recent research seems to indicate
that too much aluminum in your diet can cause depression and a host of
other problems.

(My aluminum experience happened when I was making some sabayon - it turned an
awful green color and had a definite metallic taste.)

Didn't you ever wonder why your aluminum pans were so clean and shiny after
you simmered spaghetti sauce for hours in them?
