Stop in for a cup of coffee

I have now removed my post because I believe someone will come gunning for me using stainless steel. I will however, before the bullet ends my life remind people of their extensive use of stainless steel in everyday use, a lot of people even sit licking on stainless steel when they eat, myself included, and if you handle stainless steel a little the fingers will become dark. And this will happen without the stainless steel being down in a bath removing rust.

I have now instead bought a highly toxic compound that is fully legal to sell in California, and also legal to flush down the drain or wherever. This substance is far more toxic than the little chrome that might come off a stainless steel plate, but someone has said it is legal and approved it. Well, I can not pay anyone to get my stainless steel plates approved, so I thought it was best to delete the post. I guess it is worth adding to the story that it does not work well, so I probably have to do something else to remove the rust. The substance will then be down in the drain here. But that is legal.

It is beyond me what people stuff in themselves and don't say a word or complain, while other things are considered so dangerous that it can't be touched. Still people use it blindly even for food. Does people really realize that almost all the food we eat are prepared in stainless steel tanks of various sizes. And the food is slowly rubbing off chrome, nickel and whatever else is in it a little by little. And that is legal.
I am sorry, I don't understand much of mankind.
Does people also realize that food is commercially also prepared on plastic cutting boards that contains several times as much bacterias as cutting boards of wood which is illegal to use for food. Wood has naturally built in substances that kills bacterias. Still, someone has worked with authorities and told them to ban wood, and allow plastic. I am very little impressed with mankind.

Chromium in stainless steel is “stainless” because it quickly oxidizes to chromium dioxide which creates a protective barrier to further oxidation and therefore inhibits oxidation of the steel.

It is completely inert and non-toxic. We use stainless steel extensively in the pharmaceutical industry and it it completely approved for use in food preparation...in fact, it is preferred for both applications over any other material.

It is not an issue in the application of electro-cleaning as you proposed using it for. Any chromium released from the plate in the process will not become airborne as vapor and will react in solution to become the inert chromium dioxide form.

Further, chromium is a mineral that humans require in trace amounts. Chromium is known to enhance the action of insulin, a hormone critical to the metabolism and storage of carbohydrate, fat, and protein in the body

People often confuse trivalent (chromium 3+), which is biologically active and found in food, and hexavalent (chromium 6+), a toxic form that results from industrial pollution. This application will not create the toxic form since it does not produce the high levels of heat required to make it.
