I have a aluminum pot that I use to fry turkeys in. I normally drain the oil after each fry and clean the pot out. Well long story short I didn't last time and it has been sitting on the back patio (concrete floor but roofed over and screened in) for a few months. I notice this morning that there was a huge oil ring around the pot. Out of the blue this thing just starts leaking oil out of the bottom. What the heck is this all about? Is the oil the culprit for eating pin holes in the bottom of the pot? Did the concrete react to the aluminum to eat it away? I'm totally at a loss how this could have happened. I'm done with these cheap-o thin aluminum pots that come as a kit and am shelling out the coin for a nice stainless steel one next time.
Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone know what might have caused this to happen? Now i have to deal with an ugly oil stain that I have no idea of how I going to get out of the concrete. :x
