I used to cook with aluminum all the time. Putting it under fish, chicken,and meat baking it in the oven or doing hobo dinners in the fire but then I heard that it causes memory loss. That it could be a path for dementia so I haven't done it since a couple years ago. Is this just propaganda or the real deal?

I'm staying at my father's house at the moment and yes you don't want a glass stove top or you'll be cleaning it like every other day. Other than that it's strong enough to hold the weight of my casty.

My understanding is that they will scratch the glass surface over time too.

Oh 😲 yeah I can see that. So far so good. It's the first time the casty had been on the stove and I don't move it around much.

Checked my go-to skillet. A 10" No. 6 Griswold Erie PA 699 I on the bottom, no heat ring. Checked online, they were made 1939-1957. I've got a 6" No. 3 Griswold Erie PA 709H -, same era, a second 10" Griswold No. 6 appears older - cant read much off the bottom, a big Griswold 11 3/4" also worn on the bottom. A couple others. I think those that are worn on the bottom may have been my mother's mothers pans, she cooked on a wood cookstove into the 1950s, used to feed my grandfathers logging crew through the depression and WW2.
