Reactive metals are ones that contains metals that might interact with certain foods such as aluminum, aluminum foil, cast iron, glazed pottery, and unlined copper are all examples of reactive materials. Always avoid cooking acidic foods such as ingredients with wine or tomato sauces in pans like these, as the metal can alter the color and flavor of the dish.
