    Sadly the Erlenmeyer flask was previously used for some nasty water soluble compounds and just looks clean.

      rinse -> acetic acid -> rinse -> Acqua regia-> Rinse -> Pirahna solution -> Rinse -> 500°C oven -> Rinse

      I would then drink from it without even worrying

        Is NileRed then too cautious when he only uses fresh breakers for stuff he is going to eat?

            That could be argued, but where does it stop? New stir bars? New thermometer probe every time?

          he’s lucky to have a big enough channel to be able to afford 40000$ NMR machines, so a couple beakers aren’t that much of an expense for much more safety

          but as a home chemist, there is NO WAY I’m getting new beakers every time I wanna do edible chem, especially pyrex branded ones like Nile does. Lab equipment, even basic glassware, is ridiculously overpriced
