Plastic for the win? ๐Ÿ˜

aluminum is a great metal for making flashlights. Especially after anodizing it.

It allows heat to be dissipated really fast too.

Makes a great lightweight dutch oven as well (especially when hard anodised). Non stick, doesn't rust, still distributes and holds heat really well, and about 1/3 of the weight.

where I'm from, "dutch oven" doesn't have anything to do with an actual oven

If aluminum's so great, why isn't there any lithotrophs that use it?
