How to condition copper???

[jbennett]

I just bought a new copper pot and want to make sure that I condition it properly. I have heard everything from alcohol preps to sandpaper to scotch brite. Please help any info would be greatly appreciated.

Scotch brite pads

I like the Brown scotch brite pads

Brown Scotch Brite pads then rotate 90 degrees and hit it again.

Lightly with paper or the scotch brite pads and done hurt to hit with alcohol pad once and awhile
