" It is best that this chemical is used in plastic or ceramic containers and not metal ones, because the oxalic acid will attack most metals. "
The article is a very good read.

It eventually corroded and started leaking into my dog's stainless steel "limb bin" based food container. A fabulous foot pedal controlled revolving door and huge repository designed to throw human arms and legs into in the operating room. Sweet !.
I now use a very large ceramic tub "crockpot" for oxalic. It has been working well for years. It was a Christmas gift from my mom. She doesn't know that I don't make chile or stew in it. Don't tell.
