I was looking to buy confectionery rulers - basically a length of aluminum to pour candies or chocolate into and let set - but they are so expensive! I'm considering just buying commercial-grade aluminum bars, about a tenth of the price of the branded confectionery rulers. Does anyone know if there is any risk in using the commercial-grade aluminum, i.e. are the confectionery rulers treated with anything to make them food safe? Any help would be much appreciated! /img/vbsmilies/smilies/thumb.gif

Thanks, that sounds much more sensible. The rulers I was looking at from Chef Rubber say they are made from aluminum, but using stainless steel makes tons more sense. I am always looking to save some money as a culinary student /img/vbsmilies/smilies/lol.gif Thanks again!
