Cleaning Copper-Bottom Kettles

I have several copper bottom "Revere-ware" kettles which I received as gifts when first starting out on my own. Love them, but they do tend to tarnish.

There is a simple recipe for shining up a copper bottom pan:

Salt and Vinegar + bit of elbow grease. That's it!



 Sprinkle salt on the bottom of the kettle. Add some vinegar to a paper towel or other scrubbing device and start working in a circular motion.
 Just plain white vinegar works fine.
 This is Himalayan salt, but just any normal  granulated salt works.

 Keep scrubbing in a circular motion, adding more salt and vinegar as needed.
Was able to remove most of the burnt on food and discoloration before my arm decided it had had enough of a workout for one day.

Just rinse when done and dry with a towel. Easy as pie. :)
