Hi Brian,

    I see from your web site that you're working with silver. I was
    taught to use citric acid as a pickle and it has worked great. 

    Use approx one quarter cup of crystallized citric acid per 32oz.
    water in the crock pot. When disposing of it I place the removable
    bowl of the crock pot in the sink and add baking soda to neutralize
    the liquid. 

    You can buy citric acid on line in smaller quantities at From Nature
    with Love or in a larger 50 quantity from Craft Lobby. I have
    purchased from both of these sites and have been happy with both. 

Best of luck!
Pam from EXTREMELY COLD Massachusetts
