    dishwasher for soaping tools

    I often hear that we shouldn’t use our soap-making materials, like pots, immersion blenders, or glass cups for sodium hydroxide solutions, for food purposes. However, this seems baseless to me. The only potentially dangerous substance is sodium hydroxide, but by the time it’s in food (like in...
