QuestionCan you use a pot that had drain acid spilled in it?HannahCommunity AnswerFirst, look for signs of corrosion: are there any changes as to how the pot looked before (roughed up surface,...)? Foaming, bubbles or heat when the acid had contact with the pot is another sign of a chemical reaction. If this has occurred, discard the pot. If it looks fine and you have thoroughly washed it with water, you can use it again.
