Should I retire this pot I used to remove a muzzle device?
So in my repeatedly failed quest to get this damned muzzle device off, I stuck the barrel in boiling water in an attempt to soften the Rocksett (per the manufacturer's recs).

Should I retire this pot from cooking duty because of the chemicals that are obviously now on the pot, or can it be washed sufficiently to cook from again? I have DLead soap, if that matters.

PS: I swear to god I only used a single drop of Rocksett and torqued to the mfg's specifications with a torque wrench!!

Per manufacturer--water soluable--breaks down to alkaline and silica.
I pour hot water into a disposable hot cup (10oz) and soak for 10 minutes.

Toxicity --1600-3500 mg/kg is lethal dose.
The amount of Rocksett is less than 1 mg. Rinse really good--10 full rinses. Water soluble. Your tap water probably has more trace metals.

When I need to boil something that might taint a pot I use a metal coffee can instead. Reusable many times.

Well it cant be worse than when our junior enlisted crewman washed out our coffee pot with chemical cleanser. Ugh. Coffee tasted like shit for a long time. We are all still here though a couple decades later.

And why didn't the junior enlisted spring for a new coffee maker?

I'm certain a choice of replacing the coffee pot they fucked up or cleaning toilets with their tongue would have saved you months of shitty coffee.

If the barrel is stainless then what I have done in the past is with great success is to fill a glass measuring cup with cold water just deep enough to cover the threads and let sit for 24 hours. Never had any problems or needed to boil.
