[TheForge] Finish on a fork

Tue Jan 7 16:40:00 2003

I've been pre-heating my food tools on my propane grill, then spray Pam
on it to get a thin coat, and pop it back on the grill. I get a dark
brown finish that way. My burger-flipper came out with a really nice,
smooth finish. After about 2 years or so of flipping burgers, the finish
has started to wear off, so I'll probably wirebrush it and re-seaon.
