To clean your copper pans, try vinegar or lemon juice, plus salt. The salt gives a bit of a scouring action, without scratching off the copper. They tried the "non-dairy creamers" up here in Canada for a while about three years ago, it was a liquid formulation, called (in small print) "Edible Oil Product". There must have been many people ( including me) complaining like anything about them, because most restaurants here (at least in Toronto), don't use them any more. They use real cream (one dairy even puts "real cream" on the label), which has been treated with higher than normal pasteurization temperature, and so will keep much longer without refrigeration. Much better than the cheap, cardboard, imitation cream (usually called "creme" to disguise the fact that it isn't). Some out of town restaurants haven't had enough complaints (maybe not enough Yuppies there), and still use the artificial stuff. I just ask for milk at those places. Rosemary Tanner utzoo
