Yes. Aluminum can react badly with acidic ingredients like tomatoes and citrus fruits, lending the food a distinctly metallic taste. Because the aluminum used in the Multiclad Pro is sealed on both sides with stainless steel there's no concern about the material contaminating your cooking! It's also worth mentioning those lid handles again. There's a huge amount of room beneath each one, which means there's little to no risk of your knuckles coming into contact with the hottest part of the pan.
