Power tools. Brass bristle brush in a drill?

I use one of these in my polisher to clean my burned pots. 3M Scotch-Brite Roloc Bristle Disc But that might be overkill, they're also great for stripping bark off tree bits for carving prep.

Not on an enamel coating, you barbarian! You can do this on cast iron or steel or copper or even teflon, but not enamel.

The brass is softer than the ceramic coating. Don't be too aggressive and it's fine. My hands are a bit stuffed and I'm not wearing them out scrubbing because I forgot my noodles while partaking in Dr William Nelsons Jamacian arthritis relief system.

Oh no! That was not a fantastic move. If it's that fucked you'd have to strip it back to raw and season it. Like this guy, but less https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/168bmr4/oop_seasons_a_cast_iron_pan_100_times_for_science/
