I would be a bit leery of using the metal brushes because you may end
up with scratches which will trap stuff you don't want to trap,
although I imagine that as the iron ages, these imperfections will
fill in.
However, I would recommend listening to folks who are more expert at
this than I.

Oh, and what is an "ableskiver" pan?
