Re: Handling Peat Moss

Hi Stan -

    By now you've probably gotten a bunch of responses on this (at least gauging from the messages I've just read on the list).

    I prefer glass pans (since I have them, and am certain that they wash thoroughly clean after use - I do use them later to cook with), but I imagine that any non-metallic surface pan would work equally well.

    I'm not a chemist, but I do know that peat softens water, which makes it more acidic, and this can react with metals it comes in contact with. Probably not much to worry about, though.

    Hope you get a more complete answer from someone who really knows.

Dear Donna,
I have been looking all over for an enamel pan to boil peat and have been
unable to find one.  I've used an aluminum pan.  Bad?  How bad?
