A stainless steel pot is the best method if you can't use your washer. .. Plastic has a low melting/reacting point . Even house hold PVC is not rated for water over 140 degrees., for anyting longer than a few minutes.
A stainless sink should be Ok if you have the good stainless , not all stainless is the same ... if a magnet does NOT stick it is a better grade of stainless. It the cheap stainless that a magnet will stick to. Better grade stainless has a higher nickel content ... and a magnet will not stick to nickel. The good stainless is used in many industrial applications because it does not react with most chemicals. Since the Retayne is shipped in plastic and not glass or stainless its not very reactive.
So if you ever wondered about our pins that corode its because they use cheap stainless so we can use our magentic pin cushions.
