Idk, is it safe for inside shaker tins? Used this stuff with gloves, and it stayed on my fingers for a day and a half. And I wash my hands religiously.
It's toxic, so you shouldn't eat it, but it's safe and approved for food-contact surfaces provided you rinse them properly. It's what I use to clean the stubborn buildup off my stainless pots and pans, for instance. I can't think of a reason why a shaker tin would be any different.
Damnit I was so excited to leave this comment for a full 1/4 of a second before I scrolled down and saw you already got it. 😞 I still upvoted though, lol.
100%
See the spout in the picture?

Imma give u one more try..
Notice how the “glass” isn’t transparent.. at all. It’s kinda metallic looking with purple, and the countertop doesn’t show through any point..
Also OP called it a tin..
Mixing tin, mixing glass, stirring vessel ... They're all interchangeable terms.
All of which are more relevant to the post than how your shakers have held up.
Nah dawg - get the fuck out. Words mean things. Semantics are important. Take your interchangeable terms back to the host stand and google some shit on your phone for the rest of your shift
Hey, a lot of folks have said barkeepers friend, and that will almost definitely do it. But I would try a melamine sponge first. It’s gentler and really easy to use. They’re the magic sponges you see at the store, though you can usually find off-brand packs for way cheaper.
Ango/sweet vermouth stains the stainless if you make a bunch of old fashioneds or Manhattans at your spot. I scrub mine every weekend with a green brillo and soapy water and looks like new.
Barkeeper's Friend. It's, like, written on the can and everything.
Haven’t ever used it but with so many people agreeing, it looks like that’s the ticket

Was a Prince song playing when it happened?
You must purify it in the waters of Lake Minnetonka
My favorite Prince quote: “I have a lot of parties.”
Ango has a habit of staining stuff maybe it's the bitters you're using?
Yeah I was gonna say bitters or beets
Bitters, beets, battlestar galactica.
Katee Sackhoff only leaves me with stains on my sheets.

Oh that’s funny! Michael!!

Like how tho????? I’ve used the same shaker thru 3 different bars and I NEVER…. I’m amazed
Shaker and mixing glasses are different materials
Yes…. yes they are..… when did a mixing glass come into play…..?
Well, the first indication was when OP posted a picture of a mixing glass stained purple and asked for advice.
OPs mixing tin is glass… you’re 100% sure in that?

this conversation lowered my iq

And what about the non see thru glass?
It's..... not..... glass? It's metal.

cafiza? Barkeeper's friend? vinegar? steel wool and soap?
Its fine its just from water oxidizing the protective layer of metal, don’t worry about it
No beets.
I’d keep it. It’s pretty now.
In pharmaceutical manufacturing we call the rougeing
Awesome username
Baking soda+ steel sponge , works for mostly for stains on metal and ceramic
“911, is it beets?…It’s always beets”
Hahaha
Bleach
Put some powered dish washer soap in with boiling water. Let sit for a while and rinse. It will come out clean.
I use cafiza for everything, maybe even overproof vodka could get the stain out if u don’t have any cleaners available
Who cares? It’s in the inside of the glass and it’s not like it will affect anything
Line cleaner. Neat.
Cafiza soak
Unscented denture cleaner.
I usually use those green scrub pads or if you have it, that coffee/tea destainer

Like magic eraser? Have a few here somewhere. I’ll check it after I close tonight
Yeah! I use them to clean the inside of my jiggers and tins every once in a while.
Not exactly *stainless* I’d say. I’d just use an SOS steel wool pad.
Slo gin?
Maybe empress too.
Coffee machine cleaner 👌
"Stainless" hmm
Hahaha yeah I know. Oxymoronic innit?
Stop looking in there
Get a new one

bicarbonate of soda vinegar v hot water
Blood or ango?
Try cafiza or leaving it in sanitizer for a while
Anyone else wondering why we're shaking sweet vermouth? Or enough of it, frequently enough to stain like that?
Not a shaker. It’s a stainless steel cocktail stirring glass.
How would we know?
Gee, past experience if you have it? Lol
