My husband decided to 'shine up' the interior of a stainless steel pot with wet/dry sandpaper. I it still safe to use for cooking??

Thats dumb thing to do, Now it s all scratched up in side the pot, you got to make sure its well air dryed befor putting away or it could rust, yuk .
To shine all he needed was baking soda and white vinegar, and when it stops working to wash it out with soap and water.

I imagine its only about as dangerous as eating from a pan cleaned with bleach or any of the other hundreds of caustic cleaning products around; but is is safe to eat from a brass cooking utensil (pot, pan) after cleaning it with Brasso (Ammonia & Hydrocarbon Brass Cleaning Product)?

After you have cleaned it with Brasso…wash itout with dish soap like you would any other dish or pot….just dry it off real good right after that.

my kitchen utensils are lost when i need to cook and need them.. so in what container or holder can i place them in. Either being able to find them quickly help

Keep all your baking supplies together: measuring spoons, cups, rubber spatulas, flat sptaulas, etc.

Keep all your stove-top tools togeher: wooden or plastic spoons, slotted and solid spoons, heat-proof rubber spatulas, spoon rests, whisks, etc.

If you have room, keep a drawer for "rarely used items." This is for stuff you need during the holidays or for making 1-2 special dishes and you have to have certain tools to do it. Live ravioli cutters, cookie cutters, pizza roller/cutter thing, strainer, etc.

All the rest of it, you can donate to a thrift store.

Basically, I just bought some fabric dye and the instruction calls for simmering the fabric for 20 minutes and dye for an hour.

I really like that pot for cooking, however it is the only pot I have that are big enough for dying fabrics.

All professional dyers will tell you to never reuse a dyepot for food. Dyes other than food coloring are not considered safe for containers used for food preparation. The fabric dyes you can buy in the grocery store have not been tested to be sure that they will not cause cancer or other health problems, so it is important to avoid eating anything that may have been contaminated with dye. You can put fabric into glass canning jars and heat those in a pot of water without contaminating your pot, though.

If you buy a cool water dye, such as Procion MX dye, you can apply it in a bucket without needing to heat it at all. The results are much better if you use this kind of dye than if you use the hot water dye that you bought, anyway. Rit dye works best if you boil the fabric in the dye, but even then it fades quickly and bleeds badly in the laundry. Procion MX dyes can be found in Dylon Cool Water dyes and in Tulip One Step Fashion Dye, in addition to the Jacquard Procion MX dyes found in good tie-dye kits and a few very good crafts stores.

I decided to "clean" my cooking pot and 2 pans, so I burned them, and now they are covered with rust. How can I get the rust out?? I am an old lady and my hands aren't what they used to be. In fact, they're more because I now have carpal tunnel in one of them, and both have arthritis. Maybe at my age- why try?

Technically, you can't really remove rust out of cooking utensils. Besides,it's not going to be safe to use them anymore. You could be poisoned with the rust (iron) that seeped into the food. My advice to you is to get new ones that comes with a non-sticky coating, which will lengthen your cookware's lifespan.
Afterwhich,avoid scrubbing your cook pots the next time so that the layer of protection won't get scrubbed off, leaving the vulnerable inner layer of paint.

If you really have to save, this is what you could do:
Purchase some sand paper for metal from your DIY store or hardware shop to sand those rough surface away from the rusty areas. Sand it till you see the shiny inner layer of the metal.
As you sand them, you may apply some water to help polish it.
Boil the entire item in hot water to sterilize the bugger if you can.

Still, I would think it is risky to reuse it. Have another thought of doing that.

Cheers!

I don't have anything to keep my used grease in, so i put it in this stainless steel can i got that came with a cooking utensil set. Is it safe to use the grease again after it has been in there?

stainless steel is fine.

Another alternative is a glass jar… empty mayo jar, salsa jar or go find one at Wal-mart.
