Aluminium pots often go black or dark grey when the liquid in them has no acid in it. I am not in any way a specialist in metals - just what I have been told or experienced myself.
It is aluminum!!! Thank you!!!! This was driving me crazy. So, if I do that next time will it take the black away?
Edited to add that unless I missed it in the instruction book--and I could have--I didn't see anything telling me to do this. They should at least warn a person that the pot will turn black lol.
