No. Single turn pots (good ones) clean themselves as they are used. If
they have sat up for a while they obviously did not clean themselves while
on the shelf. I don't remember ever seeing a pot that flat "wore out".

Worn out pots are common sights and noisy pots cleaning themselves is
NONSENSE.

**** off fool.
