A lasagna battery is a galvanic cell that’s accidentally created when salty lasagna is stored in a steel pan and covered with aluminum foil. The foil develops holes where it touches the lasagna, and the food corrodes.
You made a Sourkrout battery. Throw it out and store it in glass next time

You can eat anything once.

Yeah no, acid and aluminium are not a good combo

You created a battery…

That pan looks like carbon steel, and sourkraut is acidic. Aluminum foil on top – You made a battery. Do not eat the kraut.
poofandmook
The problem is you used sourkrout and not sauerkraut.

Wait, Sauerkraut in a cast iron pan? Doesn’t that ruin the pan like they say tomatoes would?

No

High aluminium uptake is correlated to Alzheimer’s in new studies. I wouldn’t eat it if i were you.
And sauerkraut costs what 50 cent a pound?

Why are you storing or making sauerkraut in CAST IRON. You’re ruining the seasoning of the pan AND your kraut. Toss.

Aluminum is definitely toxic. You shouldn’t eat it.
That said, if you already ate it, we’re about to find out.
Edit: As others pointed out, it’s not entirely toxic it’s primarily linked to Alzheimers and potentially cancer. So TIL but OP, should actually be fine but I don’t think I’d want to risk it personally. OP please answer if you develop Alzheimers and we can get this settled. Remind me in 40 years

Normally, I’m a “fuck it, just eat it” guy, but I’d probably pass on this one.

LOL letting sour kraut ferment in a cast iron pan is rancid dude. Please ask google before you do.

Aluminum can be toxic in high amounts and can transfer to food so I definitely would not

I don’t know if it’s aluminum talking but it’s “I ate it” not “eated it”. Just pointing out cause you used it several times, OP. And don’t eat melted aluminum or plastic next time, they are not good for you.

uh oh, please dont, im not too versed in chemistry but the sauerkraut reacted chemically with the aluminum foil, i would rather toss it then eating what is basically pieces of aluminum foil that are dissolved
Hii_im_NooB
Why would you think this is ok to eat?
les_catacombes
Sauerkraut should be stored in a glass jar. Why are you using cast iron and aluminum foil?!?

So you saw all the dissolved aluminum that has to be in the sauerkraut, posted on Reddit for answers, yet you still ate the food within 10 minutes of posting? Truly low IQ, attention-seeking behavior

Before you throw it out, see if you can light up a potato with it.

You put two on different metals against each other with a giant body of acidic material in between them? Do people not learn chemistry in school anymore?

When in doubt throw it out

I’ve always spelt it “sauerkraut” is this a regional thing?
Bismarck_MWKJSR
???? No? Shredded aluminum is like the top tier reason for appendicitis developing from outside sources. Toss that shit out
joejoeshabadu
This is a process from the foods high acidity, you basically accidentally made a battery, I’ve done this with Mac and cheese before.
