This is probably guidance for those influencers who like to make cooking videos from what looks like a gorgeous, sparkling farmhouse kitchen, with all those bright shiny (read: unused) plans hanging from their pot rack. If you don’t polish after using them, they will not be SHINY in your video! gasp

Speaking of influencers, I was a little surprised to see Coco Larkin pitching Ruffoni.
Oh noes! Mine is sitting in the cabinet since I got an induction stove, now it’s gonna rot!!!
Ouch.

Lol. I think that’s the way some people are brought up. Or maybe the Hexclad copy-writers have OCD? When I got my set of NOS hammered-finish saucepans from Rocky Mountain Retinning, one of my relatives said, “They look beautiful, but they’re going to be so much work to keep polished all the time!” I told her (my aunt, in her 70s at the time) that I was only planning to cook/wash/repeat with them, and not spend any time polishing, since that had no effect on their superior cooking properties.

My son in law will be in my kitchen, making Christmas dinner. I succumbed to the advice of Hexclad. In addition to making stock for him to use with the fondant potatoes and my wife’s making pots de creme to top a prime rib dinner, I polished all the copper, sharpened all the knives, and oiled all the wood. So I have cooked nothing other than stock but am already tuckered out. Plus, Christmas Eve lunch is pretty much already made. HEB had a little package of three long beef ribs which I roasted and used in the stock. The meat is amazingly tender and will make its way into a sandwich of some sort. So my old Christmas regimen is new but not really. Oh, and last year’s fruitcake, having suffered through the monthly administration of Amontillado, is pretty wonderful now, new to me after a year of tending.

Sigh. I’d like to administer some amontillado to myself, but the ghoul’s chorus of MDs who still can’t figure out a treatment plan for me chant no no no.
