[Sca-cooks] Old copper pot needs TLC

[Judith Epstein]

Copper pots can be cleaned by dipping a lemon in salt and rubbing. If  
there are little bits that you can't get rid of that way, use a  
cleaning toothbrush and more lemon juice; the salt is mostly there for  
abrasion rather than its chemical properties anyway.
