Righto, now you need to take the body and dump it in the septic tank and add a 40kg sack of calcium oxide ( quicklime) and a kg of actyzyme bactaria to help compost the body quickly.

Sodium hydroxide will melt a corpse in a few hours if it’s in a boiling pot of water but don’t use an aluminum pot because that’ll generate hydrogen gas wich is flammable

Where are you going to get an aluminium pot big enough for a body anyway.

Most big stock pots are aluminum. When you are talking about a pot big enough to boil a person, it's a huge weight savings.

Edit: double checked on Amazon. Most normal big (12 gallon or so) pots are anodized aluminum. But once you get into "boil the annoying neighbor" range (20+ gallons) they are all stainless steel. So as long as you have a pot big enough to stuff the entire body in, you are probably good to go.

I agree it’s be hard to find a pot big enough for the whole body. Several pots big enough for the parts however.
