Roughing up a new pan?

[oidium45]

How many of you guys purposely roughen up a new pan before use?

Thanks for sharing this guys. I'm one of those GREEN guys too. I bought a set of pans a few months ago and would have never thought to wash or rough them before I used them.

No problem! I'm new to prospecting and used a new pan without roughing it up as well. Live and learn - now I know better : )

Steel or copper pans have different uses and can also be used for cooking, drying or cleaning your gold over a fire. Plus, they don't break. I use different pans for different situations, but a good steel pan has many uses in the woods, including digging in these hands and pans areas that are appearing all over California.

Good point, Reed. Tnx! ╦╦Ç

Hey. Many years ago, I first saw how the drops of water do not stick to a new plastic golden saucepan, and I realized that it's bad, I was on a creek in the forest, and I did not have soap and a kitchen brush when I washed the second and then again and again, a lot of land and sand corrected it as necessary, and the water did not roll, and then I calmed down, everything worked well.
