I just watched "How Clean is Your House" on BBC America. The host
showed these people how to clean a very stained, rusty wok by using a
potato with a bit of dish soap. She said to then add a bit of
vegetable oil before putting it away. I don't know what the potato
does and I don't know how helpful it would be with this frying pan.
