I am looking for a pan to use in the oven to make steam for baking. What I have is an old piece that was called "Club Aluminum". It is heavy and not non-stick. Don't have any cast iron. Does anyone think it is unsafe to use this because of what it is made of, don't want to cause any dangerous fumes or reaction in high heat. You all are so knowledgable here and I am learning so much. Thanks.
I salvaged the bottom of an old enamel broiler pan and use that exclusively for steaming. You might want to check out a local Goodwill store, or even yard sales, for someone's outcast.
What type of handle is on your skillet? Is it something you will want to use for other purposes?
