Cooking pots and trays made from Cola cans and kitchen foil: A visit in Cairo-Al Arab

1. Cans, kitchen foil and bottle caps made of aluminium are heated in melting furnaces:
.....Leftovers and even plastic bags are burned and the metal is liquefied.
2. Liquid aluminium are taken out by a big "ladle" and transfered into moulds
3. As soon as the cuboid hot aluminium pieces are have solidified, theyare flattened by a rolling mill.
3. A round disk is cut from the resulting rectangular metal sheet....
.... In many working cycles even big pitchers are formed.
4. This beautiful pitcher for cooking and distributing foul (a local meal made of beans) is finally
.... decorated by hammering in a defening procedure.
