+1 ;)

Aluminium or Aluminum, depending on your origin, will taint your product seriously. ::)

I won't even use Aluminium pans for the sprouts these days,just in case the supposed link with dementia has a foundation.
If it can happen with sprouts,what may ethanol do?

reminds me of another favourite recipe...
Baked bean and Brussel curry. Washed down with four points of real ale.
