I don't understand how bitul lechatchila applies here.  When you're
cooking the kitniyos you are not deliberately being mevatel its taste
in the walls of the pot -- that happens automatically.   And after the
kitniyos were cooked in it the issur is automatically batel; the taam
of kitniyos in the walls is surely less than 50%!
