As the title says... my lovely old jam pan has gone funny (that'll teach me to leave it out). It's 2 different metals, the handle has gone rusty, and the pan itself has got greeny/blue oxidisation all over it 
HELP what can I do?
So far I've tried scrubbing it, washing up liquid, barkeepers friend and salt.

Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

Oh, for good old Vim.
Wire wool should do it.

Can you still get Vim... I haven't seen it for years?
Thanks for that, I'll try everything tomorrow until something works... at least I hope something works... it was my Mum's and I'm really annoyed with myself for being so careless.TOP MONEYSAVING TIP

Can you tell me what you used, I have a rust problem in my bread maker, was it the foil or the Vim or the tomato ketchup that worked?0
