I’ve read in a few threads about passivation of stainless steel. What is this process and why is it necessary? The reason I’m asking is that I have a 20 gallon stainless kettle from 1948 , the ones that hung in the kitchens back when they made real school lunches. Anyways, my pot has a few pits...

My father had made pickled eggs since I was a kid. Always took them on hunting and fishing trips. Instead of sugar he used a can of red sliced beets and juice for sweetness. I have been making them for my trips for the last 45 years.

I would like to give it a try. Thanks
