Another fine product from CHINA! Probably impregnated with cadmium or some
other industrial waste product, but so what? What's the worst that could
happen, it could kill cyber**** or render it barren?

The bottoms are almost certainly steel-plated aluminum rather than
aluminum-plated steel. Aluminum-plated steel would be stupid in a cooking
vessel, and it would be equally stupid to "anodyze" [sic] steel for just
about any conceivable purpose. Cyber****'s just ignorant, and in its haste
to brag it spouted off a bunch of bullshit.
