[Sca-cooks] Old copper pot needs TLC

[Saint Phlip]

Regardless of which acid you use, the pot will be safe to eat out of
as long as there's no visible green. You're not talking an immediate,
deadly poison here, that a microgram of which will drop you deader
than a doornail in seconds, but a mild poison that would require a
fair amount to make you ill, let alone dead, barring an unusual
allergy that would require that you not use copperware in the first
place. If a copper pot looks clean, it's safe to eat out of.

Heat it up
Hit it hard
Repent as necessary.

Priorities:

It's the smith who makes the tools, not the tools which make the smith.
