[Sca-cooks] Advice on cleaning deep frying pots

[A F Murphy]

Well, to be honest, that's what I do with mine, since that's what my
grandmother did to the same skillet just as her mother did (to the same
skillet...)

It appears to have survived the treatment...

Actually, Grandma took brillo to it - not that anything was ever really
stuck, that's just how she dealt with all pots and pans. Survived that,
too!

Now, my other skillet, which belonged to my other grandmother, did not
survive as well being left in a damp summer cottage and not used most of
the year. I'm a bit more careful with that one. Once I was an adult, and
sometimes the one closing up the house, I used to coat it with oil
before I left - hadn't occurred to Granny or Mom. After that, I didn't
have to scrub rust out in June. It's mine, now, too.
