I know the one time I couldn't find a bucket to Star-san my bottles in I used my kettle and it left the bottom super-shiney. I immediately rinsed and boiled water in it in case I damaged the protective layer.
Later I read about acid based stuff not being so good for SS pans? Pitting and etc.
Can I use star-san on my cornys or do I need to worry about it ruining the SS?
Reason I ask is the Cornys seem to look almost like they have a thin layer of something white inside (even after OxyClean) except where the dip tube has scrapped the bottom and made it look like shiny new SS. Is that the protective layer or do I need to soak longer?
