Today I tried making Dulce de Leche from a can of condensed milk, using my aluminum pot as it's the biggest cookware I have.
However, after lifting the can, it seems to have left this circular, corrosion-like residue on my pot. Hot water and scrubbing with soap did not help, though it did reduce it slightly.
I did notice that the can itself became slightly rusted near the bottom. Is this rust? How do I remove this stain from my pot?
