Yes, you can clean Rit dye out of pots and pans, and they should be safe to use for cooking afterward. Here are some tips for cleaning dye from your cookware:

1. Rinse the pots and pans thoroughly with hot water immediately after using the dye. This will help to remove any residual dye that may have stuck to the surface.

2. Fill the pots and pans with a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. The vinegar will help to break down the dye molecules and loosen them from the surface of the cookware.

3. Drain the vinegar and water mixture and scrub the pots and pans with a soft sponge or cloth. Be sure to get into all of the nooks and crannies.

4. Rinse the pots and pans thoroughly with hot water and dish soap. This will remove any residual vinegar and dye.

5. Dry the pots and pans with a clean towel.

Once you have cleaned the pots and pans, they should be safe to use for cooking again. However, it is always a good idea to test a small area of the cookware before using it to cook food.
