Second, I didn't once advocate scraping anything. If you look to my initial post, I suggest the plastic brush. If that doesn't work, you can move to the soft metal bristle brush. I don't use a scraper anymore. When I did, it was only in certain situations, and now, those situations are unlikely to occur.
Using a carbon scraper can indeed damage the surface being scraped if it is done too frequently or improperly.
