Had a question from the internet last night, thought some others could benefit from the answer.
Question: We have some copper pots and copper pans, what can I use to clean and maintain them?
Answer: Cleaning them up is no problem, maintain the luster is the hard part. Using lemons cut in half, as you would a Brillo Pad, and table salt as the abrasive just scrub as usual. This was what we used in culinary school some years back, there may be a commercial product on the market now that does a better job, but I doubt that it will be as inexpensive.
After the post I got a reply from someone that said they use the same method for cleaning their stainless steel the same way, sounds logical.
