Letter 39019
Aluminum basket in stainless steel stock
pot
++++++
Will the use of an aluminum perforated pasta strainer basket in a
stainless steel stock pot, used with boiling salted tap water, cause
a metal interaction problem? Thank you.

Well, there's a simple, practical, thought-provoking question.
Certainly all of the requirements for significant galvanic corrosion
have been met. I suspect that the only reason it's a minor problem
instead of a serious one is the few hours per year where the
corrosion situation exists, and the fact that such strainers tend to
be inexpensive almost disposable items.
