Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

I know what I can change and I know what I can't. I'll put some elbow grease into it!

I do have some other Circulon that have narrow circular grooves in the bottom (it was a thing they did many years ago). We gotten rid of most of them because they are so hard to clean but there are a few pots that we rarely use (roasting pan, for example) which are still in good shape but every time I use them I have to scrub them with a bristle brush or a pot scrubber. I've got some plastic ones that will get those pans clean but I'd definitely prefer to find a non-plastic alternative (even baking soda doesn't work). The brushes I have are still in pretty good shape and working so maybe I'll just forget about getting a green alternative until I don't need it anymore!
