That looks horrible. And why the fuck is any sane person preparing a cassetole in a throwaway baking dish?
1 - you don't have to worry about leaving a dish
2 - you don't have to clean it after a get together that is probably exhausting
3 - aluminum is one of the materials that is actually very recyclable, so it's not a big deal like plastic is.
75% of all aluminum ever mined is still in circulation- its also more efficient- recycling aluminum takes 5% of the energy it takes to produce it.
But you can't recycle it when it's dirty
I have melted and cast ingots from thousands of dirty aluminum cans. Rinsing first is ideal of course, but all the crap floats to the top of the molten metal as slag and you can scoop it off to discard.
I'm sure you can, but at the recycling facility it will be rejected. Look it up.
Ya but how many people are cleaning and recycling them? They're going straight in the garbage.
Because you're going to a potluck and don't want to worry about getting your dish back?
