Pies and Pans

[tigersmom]

I am going to make a Lemon Meringue Pie and the recipe calls for cooking the filling (egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice etc..) in a non-reactive saucepan. What does that mean? Can anyone help me?

It means material that will not interact with the acid of the lemon juice - so preferably stainless steel or even teflon coated pan - anything that is not aluminum -

Yes, no aluminum or non-enameled cast iron.
