healthiest roasting sheets for veggies

You all are puppets of Big Tin Foil.

Aluminum is for headgear, not cooking, people!

Yes! You should not be cooking with aluminum. Widely known.

Does Cooking with Aluminum Foil Put You at Risk for Alzheimer’s?:
Sensationalist stories about how cooking with aluminum foil could spur the onset of Alzheimer's rely on a number of untested assumptions that sometimes strain credulity.

PP, are you OP, and were you recently worried about getting stuff in your eyes? Because the flavor is coming out again, more and more.

No, not OP. I am not health anxiety lady, but I do believe in clean living. We use no aluminum in our home. Ceramic, stoneware, parchment if needed.

You have health anxiety

Maybe someone has an issue with that too.

I've been thinking about getting a silicone baking sheet too- do those work well?
Any brands that are recommended?

I’m not on Facebook, and don’t get medical advice from USA Today ….. but I don’t use aluminum while cooking. Seems like common sense to me. Aluminum is know to leach into foods, why would I do that

So has your doctor told you to avoid aluminum foil? Or from whom do you get your medical advice?

I didn’t realize what I choose to cook on is medical advice ? Since when do we have to listen to doctors to choose our bakeware? I’m not sure if you know this or not, but they do not have this information in the curriculum in medical school.

This was obviously a sarcastic response to the PP’s (your?) silly retort that she doesn’t “take medical advice” from USA Today.

Sarcasm invites more sarcasm.

you can find studies to support whatever point you’re dying to make here. Despite NIH conducting a study that aluminum is not safe for deodorant years ago, it’s still deemed safe enough. But an oncologist I know recommends against its use. Or the studies that say acidic foods in aluminum cans have high traces of it in the food, but still “safe” and widely available. I choose glass bottled tomatoes. Considering we are one of the few countries left in the world that allow widespread chemical farming (with not shockingly rates of all chronic disease exponentially increasing), I tend to be conservative on what I choose goes into my food. My choices don’t affect you, or actually anyone other than the members of my family.

You definitely should keep doing you.

So does cooking with aluminum harm your health, or not.

I also line all of my cooking sheets with foil.

Get a professional quality pizza stone and you can use that, with parchment paper, instead of a sheet pan for most (but not all) purposes.

That pizza stone will need to heat up in the oven for a long time, which is not very environmental. This is the reason I don’t even own one for pizza making, I just can’t bear the thought of that thing heating up in a 500° oven for an hour before the pizza goes on. Using it for every roasting job would be so irresponsible. The great thing about aluminum or steel is that it heats up very quickly.

I just put the pizza stone in when I turn the oven on and it heats up fine.

I already solved this problem by linking to a stainless steel sheet pan if you don’t want aluminum.

Citation? The NIH does not conduct studies, but it does fund studies conducted by individual researchers. It also hosts a search engine of studies (PubMed) through the National Library of Medicine, but because that search engine has "NIH," sometimes people who don't understand what they are looking at get confused about it.

Regardless, PubMed gives me these most recent results, neither of which comes to the conclusion bolded above.

Just admit your sarcasm detector failed instead of wasting your time arguing with someone who agrees with you.

Great - looks like I can finally stop using that worthless natural deodorant that's done nothing but permanently stain my crisp white t-shirts, while still not controlling odor

I like the sheet pans I got at Costco. They are double layer with an air pocket between so food doesn’t burn. I also like my pampered chef stone pans — I knew pampered chef ladies back in the 90s and all that stuff is still going strong, so it’s the one MlM party I would actually attend! Bummed no one does it anymore.

My grandmother had Alzheimer’s in the 70s and my mom went through an aluminum purge in the 80s after reading some articles linking them. My family, including some scientists, did a fairly deep dive and concluded its not linked to Alzheimer’s and it’s not a big deal assuming you are not cooking/storing everything in aluminum. For acidic stuff, better to use stainless steel.

[Anonymous]

I use a glass pyrex pan for veggies.

[Anonymous]

I avoid plastic whenever I can, and like PP, I often use glass to roast veggies. Stainless steel is another option above.

That being said, I'm under no illusion that there is medical evidence to avoid aluminum, and I know without question that it's a prime woo topic.

Anonymous wrote:OP here. Really, I just wanted to buy new baking sheets - because we moved, but also because we roast veggies a lot. I came across some articles that were all about what was/wasn't safe, and felt overwhelmed because it was hard to tell what was being sponsored, etc. (one site all led to Pampered Chef products). Im fine paying more but $200 a sheet seems excessive.

OP-- I buy sheet pans from William Sonoma. The advertisement says "commercial grade aluminized steel." I don't know if they're "healthier" or not, but they're expensive. The best thing (imo) is to use parchment or a silicone baking mat if you're not baking at a high temperature. Sometimes I roast directly on the metal if I want the veggies to crisp. If you're worried about metal leaching, I've read to minimize baking on aluminum foil-- also make sure that you're not putting acid (e.g. a lemon) on a reactive pan (uncoated aluminum).

If you are baking at a high temperature, I use a cast iron pan or even a cast iron skillet, that can handle very high heat. I get where you're coming from-- I try to be safe. I feel better if I use a variety of materials, and frankly, cast iron is great-- hard to clean, but proven safety through many generations.
