Title: Can anyone tell me...
Post by: garbadee on April 17, 2010, 06:26:13 PM
Chalk this up to me being under educated in the food service industry but...

I've see several recipes that call for using a nonreactive pot?  I have to assume it is a metallic pot that doesn't like certain ingredients (like maybe aluminum doesn't like vinegar of something similar).  Exactly what is a nonreactive pot?  Glass, Tupperware, stainless, ...?

Thanks for the feedback,
Ed

This generally means Stainless steel or a ceramic coated pot. Glass would be non-reactive but make sure you are not heating to hot. Pyrex is also non-reactive.

Your assumption is very good garbadee.

Metals like aluminum and cast iron are reactive to salts and acids. Vinegar is an acid.

Stainless steel, glass, tupperware, (Any food safe plastic) ceramic, etc. are non reactive.
