Yes, they are the donut shaped ones that are like the copper scrubbies.
I get them by the two pack for a reasonable price. Can't recall exactly,
but I think it's less than $2.00. They are on the cleaning aisle at the
grocery store.

<laughs> Indeed I do! Hence the oiling. I rarely get rusting due to the
good seasoning on most pans, but the big pots I don't use often (and DO
cook tomato in) really do need that coating of oil! It's just habit. I
put a few drops of cooking oil (usually olive, grapeseed or I've been
using up what little coconut oil I have left for that chore) and wipe it
around with a paper towel...
