    Allan, I use a Crockpot with a glass jar inside; the jar is filled with
    pickle, then the rest of the space inside the Crockpot is filled with water
    in which I have dissolved baking soda. When a piece is taken from the
    pickle, it is dipped into the water to neutralize any pickle remaining on
    the piece. I change the water every day, and have had no problems, even
    with employees who are sensitive to pickle. The Crockpot cost about $12.00
    five years ago, and has worked very well since. Metalsmth
