CLEANING COPPER

Copper pots and pans are wonderful in the kitchen. They are expensive but they distribute heat evenly and are a joy to cook with. The bad thing is that they are hard to keep clean and shiny.

The easiest way that I have found to clean copper cookware is to cut a lemon in half and sprinkle the cut side of the lemon with kosher salt.

Holding the peel side, rub your pan vigorously so that the lemon juice and the salt scrub any discolorations away. Rinse well and dry.
