What are non-reactive pots?
Non-reactive pots are used on ranges that do not have the usual coils that heat up. It is a flat surface and will not get hot unless a non-reactive pot is used on it. A non-reactive pot is defined as one made of stainless steel, enameled aluminum (not regular aluminum because it is affected by acid) or anodized aluminum, such as Circulon or Kafflon. The anodized aluminum has gone through a hardening process that makes it nearly as hard as stainless steel. Source: Meat and Poultry Hotline, 800-535-4555. May 25, 2000.
