Hey Everyone,
I know that this thread is a bit older from February 2013, but, I remembered reading a posting just a few days back about using steel wool. I looked around and couldn’t find it so I decided to use this thread.
I was online at Gramercy Tools and came across this Norton-Bear-Tex Nylon Hand Pad.

I also came across the Liberon Oil Free Steel Wool both of which I am purchasing and will give a try.

In reading about the steel wool, a tip says that you should cut the steel wool with scissors and not tear it apart like I always do.
Funny, when preparing the vegatable lettuce, chefs recommend you tear the lettuce when I always cut it with a knife which is just the opposite of steel wool so I am doing both incorrectly! lol
