Aluminium cooking utensils are safe. Probably. For most consumers the amount of aluminium absorbed into food from cooking utensils is unlikely to be harmful. Stainless steel. Stainless steel cookware is available in different alloys, with 10/18 being the safest. Stainless steel cookware is available in different alloys, with 10/18 being the safest. This indicates 10 percent of the metal is nickel, which provides the shine, and 18 percent is chromium, which makes the metal non-corrosive. Stainless steel pans may have a layer of stainless over a copper or aluminum core. The core provides good heat transfer, and the stainless steel provides a safe cooking surface. Stainless steel may leach small amounts of nickel in some circumstances, which could be of concern to those with nickel allergies.
