These hammered aluminum saucepan originated in the mid-19th century. They are lightweight, durable, and conduct and distribute heat faster than stainless steel cookware. The dimples that cover Yukihira pots create more surface area on the pot exterior for conducting heat, while on the inside of the pot, the dimples help prevent foods from burning and sticking.
Aluminum pots' main benefit is their high heat conduction, meaning they heat up and cool down faster than most other cookware materials. Aluminum is also lightweight and easy to clean. Aluminum can oxidize however, and after exposure to air will form an oxide layer. This oxide layer protects the aluminum surface from corrosion. Most of the aluminum pots on the market have a thickened oxide film formed from alumite, which is characterized by its strong resistance to corrosion and anodic oxidation. It is best to avoid cooking acidic foods and alkaline ingredients such as tomato or baking soda. The oxide film on the surface dissolves and becomes thinner, exposing the aluminum surface.
