I have always just let food (of all kinds) sit in the pans until I had a chance to wash them. Recently I have shifted to clay bakers for a lot of my cooking. Do you know if those pose any potential hazards? I had no idea that aluminum and other harmful chemicals could leak from the cookware or bakeware and into food.

(Studies have since suggested that the aluminum wasn't ingested.) Stainless steel was the natural choice for event heating, good wear and little maintenance. But you'll never pry my cast iron spiders (frying pans) and Dutch oven away. My parents have cast iron frying pans that have been handed down for generations. And since women of child-bearing age get rid of iron naturally, we make sure our male family members donate blood to offset any iron overages. It's all stainless steel and cast iron, baby. :)
