Stainless Steel in Lye

Hello

I recently acquired a Favorite Dutch Oven with what I believe to be a stainless steel handle & pour assist ring. I planned on soaking it in my lye bath. Will the stainless be ok? I'm assuming so but just wanted to make sure.

Thanks

Not a problem. Probably not actually SS, though. Plated or tinned more likely.

Did you try a magnet on the suspected stainless steel parts, Adam?
