I'm pretty sure everyone is intimately familiar with aluminum. You can barely toss a cat across the room without having it hit something that's made from it. I think, because it's so common, that it's often times not even thought of or given any attention. It's just always there. My favorite use for it is naturally bee....uhh.....soda cans. A very close second, however, is cookware. Aluminum is very well known for it's ability to conduct and transfer heat. And it's inexpensive. Yay! But, just because aluminum cookware is somewhat inexpensive doesn't mean it should be neglected. Even things that don't cost an arm and a leg get expensive if you're constantly replacing them. With that in mind, I put together this article on how to clean aluminum. Now don't get me wrong, this article is not only for aluminum cookware. The advise given here can be used on any bare aluminum surface. So if you've got some aluminum that you're looking to clean but don't know the best way to go about it, look no further. Have a gander at my article on How to Clean Aluminum.
