Regardless, I'm going to use a Teflon-coated saucepan on the stovetop for
this project. What's the worst that could happen?

That there'll be a scratch in the Teflon and your alloy will:-
a) be contaminated.
b) run out all over the stove top through the hole it dissolved.

Worse yet:
c) wife comes home during your experiment and finds you doing
metalworking, again, with the appliances.

P.S. A dishwasher, while a fine parts washer, is not perceived as such
by roughly half of the population. Strange but true.
