Copper mesh vs Scrubbers

Post by Ronfire »

I was wondering if this copper mesh is better than the copper scrubbers.
Just learned that what I heard in the Boka column was flooding, sounded like there was boiling in the column but it still appeared to work well.

That's a bigger question than you probably realize. I think the consensus is you can control the packing density better rolling mesh than you can pushing scrubbers.

Just a thought.
Copper scrubbers meant for cleaning pots and pans are usually copper plated steel.
Pure copper mesh isn't durable enough for scrubbing with.
I've put a torch to some, that the manufactures claim to be pure copper, but they weren't.

On a side note, what your hearing is most likely the sound of the pot boiling.
