Aluminium distributes heat quickly and evenly to the entire pan. This makes it easy to regulate the temperature and prevent food for burning and sticking to the pan. Perfect for sauces and dishes based on flour and milk. Aluminium pots and pans are often treated with a non-stick coating to prevent stains and discolouration from exposure to acidic foods, such as tomato sauce. Use wooden or plastic cooking utensils to avoid scratches. Wash by hand.

If you look closely at the bottom of a pan you'll see that it's slightly concave. That's normal. When heated the bottom expands and flattens outs. This is why you should allow pans to cool down slowly before you wash them. If they cool too quickly, there's a risk that the bottom will not have time to return to its neutral, concave position and may even warp the next time it's heated.
