Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

      Oh, I don’t really recommend copper as someone that cooks.

      Like, you can accidentally poison yourself or possibly give yourself early dementia. They are a pain to clean unless you are willing to buff them constantly to keep the shine… Do yourself a favor and get like a couple decorative pieces if you really want copper but cook with steel/iron

        I have a cast iron pan, but it is more about the refurbishing proces. I want to try relining it with tin.

        From my understanding about them it is generally safe when you have intact lining.

          Oh… Yeah… Good luck getting it to keep that lining.

          If you want to do it for just the experience go ahead but also still don’t cook with it.

          Tin sucks. Like straight up. Super soft. Scratches easy. Melts easy. It’s not nonstick and things will stick to it and the act of scrubbing it will potentially strip the tin off and make you get to enjoy relining it again, and again, and again, and again and…

          Copper is pretty, but you’d have to really put a gun to my head to make me want to cook with it ever

        I think you’re just supposed to avoid heavy acids with them. And it’s one of those ‘lifetime risk’ dealies.
