As part of the reclamation of materials of Burkina Faso's artisanal origin, two samples of kitchen utensils (artisanal pots) made of aluminum were collected and analyzed chemically. Craftsman poses the problem of the quality of the finished products of the country especially when we know that they are used for everyday cooking. This work is a contribution to the chemical characterization of craft pots in the central region of Burkina Faso. The X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis indicates that
