For a real metal pan, it'd take something abrasive to make scratches, or cause part of it to come off.Metal shavings or dust, would probably flush down the drain as you rinsed, so you'd be less likely to see a residue on a brush.I'd be concerned that you were looking at some kind of metalic paint.Are you seeing metal "goo" or metal "particles" on the brush?  Either way, that's bad, an unlikely for a normal pan (unless you used steel wool or an metal brush).Personally, I use All-Clad.  We have birds, and teflon is dangerous for birds (have a scorch or fire, and that stuff is in the air, and is toxic).So a few years back, I threw out all our mismatched pots and pans and bought a full proper set of matching stainless steel cookware from BedBath & Beyond (20% off coupons helped).  $500 got me the basic set, and every now and then I add one.  AllClad only has 1 style for the last 30-50 years (however long they existed), so with lifetime warranty, I'm good to go.</blockquote>
