Comment on Dishwasher guide: salt will harm the stainless steel lining. What about salt water in stainless steel pots?

I can’t imagine it’s particularly food safe to leave your starchy pasta water out for a few days and then reuse it.

In any case it’s far less salty than what could potentially happen in the dishwasher with a relatively large amount of the decalcifying salt and a couple drops of water.

Worst case you can polish and re-passivate your stainless steel cookware, but it shouldn’t come to that.

I haven’t tested a few days of non-use. It’s usually if I happen to make pasta two days in a row, and (more rare) three days in a row (where it still boils daily).
