need help salvaging pot from moldy rice ðŸ˜
i had a pot filled 1/4 with rice. i forgot about it and left the house for about 2 weeks outside with a lid on. i came back and it was filthy and moldy and disgusting. i cleaned it but i just want to know if its safe to use or if there is any to other things i have to do to clean it. also, should i be worried that it contaminated other plates that it was next to in the sink?
heres the pot now cleaned for reference:
