Do you have a favorite knife or pan or utensil that has a tendency to rust with continual use? I certainly do. My nemesis is a knife ... a cleaver knife to be exact. And while I have a whole drawer and knife block full of them, I just work better with my cleaver.But thanks to my ... overuse, it has a tendency to rust from time to time and I hate using harsh chemicals, especially on my cooking tools.
Coarse salt and a lemon? Yes. It's all it takes. Oh, and a little elbow grease. Smile.
Cut a lemon in half and run over the area you want to clean. Sprinkle a liberal amount of coarse salt and rub away. Your utensils will glisten. Wash, dry really well, and store. It's that easy.
Simple ... easy ... green.
