[TheForge] recycling aluminum tubing to make cannoli tube/form

[Jeffrey Polaski]

If you're worried about toxicity I'd think you could make the forms out
of cookie sheets, either aluminum or stainless. That way you don't have
to worry about it.  You could probably pick a few up for cheap from a
local thrift store.

Subject: [TheForge] recycling aluminum tubing to make cannoli tube/form

hello;

i have a need to make one dozen cannoli tubes/forms.
cannolia tubes/forms normally made out of aluminum
tubing which has been cut to various lenghts. the
common size for the aluminum tubing is 3/4 inches
in diameter and 5 inches in length. the dough used
to make the cannoli is wrapped around the cannoli
tube/form and deep fat fried. however, before the
use of aluminum wood dowels were used to form and
fry the cannoli.

i have several hardwood dowels of the correct diameter
and i have aluminum flashing which i could use to make
a cannoli tube/form. i also have a broken aluminum lawn
chair which is made from the correct size aluminum tubing.

i am not at all sure what aluminum alloy the lawn chair
aluminum tubing may or may not be. i doubt that using
the lawn chair aluminum tubing for the cannoli tube/form
would be a problem, but i am just not 100 percent sure.

could the lawn chair aluminum tubing react in some unknown
manner with the hot olive/peanut/canola/corn/soybean oil?
