*Update* I was told by one of my mom's friends to use ketchup. I shrugged my shoulders and thought why not. Ketchup is vinegar based. I soaked it overnight. The results were pretty amazing, but my pan is not restored back just quite yet. Here are the pics.
Before I went to sleep I rubbed ketchup all over my pan. Then I laid it on a plate face down.
Anyways, wherever the blue paste was the grime just came off.
I am going to soak it in my mom's paste next over night. ( dish soap, white vinegar, and baking soda)
Is it weird I find this fun?

When I awoke there was a blue paste on my pan. I looked this up on google and it said:
"hydrogen mixed with oxygen. When these two mix the setharene inside the hydrogen combines with the glucomate in oxygen to produce setharene glucomide. This invokes a pigment in the copper sulphate with a tiny electrical impulse. It then turns blue."

Apparently I am a great scientist because there is a formula to do this (NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH-.) Yep.

I have eight Paula Dean pans that have shiny beautiful copper bottoms. I really don't know how my frying pan got like this. I use this one the most out of all my pans. It still works great and it is my favorite. I wanted to try to restore it as much as possible.
The experimental ingredients: Vegetable oil, Baking soda, Hydrogen peroxide, half of a potato, and salt. I used all of these in different combinations. (I know the pan seems hopeless) lol
The best combination I came up with: First applying 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil with a tablespoon of baking soda (you really could eye ball it). Rub it with your fingers on the pan. Next sprinkle salt and scrub with a half potato.
As you can tell there is a difference. In the before section I did go around the rim, but that is the only part I messed with. I am going to keep doing this treatment and see if it will restore it back. Dish soap is just not cutting it. (I will do an update blog)
