Hello everyone,

First of all, I am ESL, sorry for the grammar mistakes.

I am super new to this. I never had a copper cookware or pan in my life. I usually read the tips in this sub, and yesterday I tried 2 of them, and I guess I failed miserably.

Yesterday I used salt + lime juice, and the pan was looking shiny, but the black part didn't come off, so I tried the ketchup and I left on it overnight, and now it looks like this and the black still not coming off.

What did I do wrong? And how can I fix my pan? Did I destroy it?

Thanks for your help!!

I want to create this post to say a huge THANK YOU to the user u/Cheap-Disk-6505.

I was looking to buy the game puck from the last game, because I am from Brazil and we don't have hockey, and hockey means so much to me and part of my life. Hockey helped me go through a hard part of my life, cheering to the Silvertips, then Kraken was the only good part of my day for so long, and now Torrent is where I am finding community again.

I created a post looking for the game puck to buy because I collect every puck from professional hockey that I go to, and I couldn't get to the arena on time that day to buy one.

The user u/Cheap-Disk-6505 offered to give me the puck, and didn't want any money, they straight up gave me the puck. I have no words to appreciate it, I almost cry when I saw the puck.

And they said: This is what community is for! And hell yeah it is.

Thank you so so much, I will never forget this.
