I recently bought a couple pieces of cheap aluminum nonstick cookware
(2 fry pans, and 1 saucepan), to replace some stainless nonstick that
I've had for a couple of years.

What I didn't think of was if these are reactive pieces? I made some
fish the other day with a little lemon...tasted fine though I really
didn't have much lemon while it was still in the pan. The Teflon coats
the aluminum so I'd think it should be nonreactive...but I figure I
should ask everybody else's opinions especially since I couldn't find
the info on the net.

How could it possibly be reactive when it's covered up? If your Teflon
surface is intact, I fail to see how it could be reactive.

I wonder why Nancy replaced here stainless non-stick cookware. Maybe she can
explain.

Did you type these words? "to replace some stainless nonstick that I've had
for a couple of years."

Or, are there two of you?

Sorry - my mistake. I meant to ask why FilterXG is replacing the cookware.
If it's because the non-stick surface was ruined in two years, it *might* be
that he's not qualified to own non-stick cookware.

Cheap nonstick just needs to be replaced every few years. Some
manufacturers use various tricks to get more life like reducing surface
areas, but in reality that just diminishes preformance (in my opinion).
So to bed bath and beyond and just run your fingers over some nonstick
skillets. The cheapest are the smoothest.

Anyway until I hear (or taste) otherwise I'm going to assume it is
nonreactive.
