See example posted on alt.binaries.food

This happened some time ago and the reference pan hasn't had as much use
as the other, but you can clearly see the mottled appearance where the
hard anodize and it's gray dye have been dissolved away leaving just the
underlying aluminum and it's subsequent oxide layer. The tap water here
is somewhere around PH 8.5 or so, I don't have PH test strips that go
high enough to test where the water / dishwasher detergent combo comes
in.
