[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5148128, member: 35909"] Well, I tried using a face cloth along the inside under hot water, couldn't get anything as far as I could tell. Went back to the brush, and continued firmly rubbing the metal to see if anything would come off, trying to use just half of the brush that had little on it until now, so it'd be easy to tell. Over a minute of that, I couldn't tell if a few little specks had come off or not, I was starting to think the pot might be alright. Then I tried the outside bottom part, and within 10 seconds had picked up a bunch of pot 'leavins. I think I need to return it... Anyone know of safe metal pots and pans that don't cost too much? I can't really spend $500 or even $200 on a set to last me a lifetime right now. Even if I didn't get a set, and just got a 2-3 qt. pot, large multipurpose pan, and maybe a large pot for boiling pasta, ears of corn, hot dogs, etc... If the former 2 had covers at least, that would probably cover almost all of our cooking needs.
