Scouring tin or chromium utensils warned by expert
Isabelle Auwaerter, county extension home economist, warns against scouring chromium and tin utensils. Chromium is a soft metal that wears off with polish or cleaning powder. Use soapy water and rinse to keep chrome shiny. Tin pans should be allowed to dull as scouring ruins the coating and invites rust. Shiny tins do not heat better and dulling preserves heat.
