Makes a good case for aluminum cookware.



If I'm not mistaken, at that time their cookware would have been cast iron or tin, as stainless steel was not in widespread use. Aluminum can also become brittle over time. Others probably know more about this than I do. Too bad they didn't have Titanium cookware. cool



Yeah, and have heard of aluminium pots/pans melting over a fire. Think alot of metal pots will fail eventually, and the chances of replacing them if living in isolation is difficult at best.
