I don't have anything copper but it reminded me of the article I read
the other day when I was looking for local places where I can drop off
dead batteries and CFLs. That article came up. I remember when I used
to throw dead batteries in the trash. I don't do that anymore. CFLs, I
knew they're full of mercury but haven't had any die until now. They're
going in multiples since I changed all my lamps at pretty much the same
time.

I have a few nice stainless pieces of cookware and the tip about baking
soda is nice though I haven't tried it yet.

I was so tempted the other day by a Groupon Goods offer. But I have all
the cookware I need. They might not match and the lids don't fit tight
on everything but they work. It was just a fleeting thought to replace
them. The thought is gone now. These aren't even stainless but I'm
sure they'd work just fine on my smoothtop.
