OT - Old Solid Copper Mixing Bowls
ArvadaMan
Posts: 260
I was in the local thrift shop yesterday and came across an old set of solid copper mixing bowls for $12.00.
I would like to clean the tarnish off and put them to use in my kitchen. Any suggestions about cleaning off the tarnish?

Barkeeper's Friend. Sort of like Bon Ami except it works! Great for stainless too.
PS: Bed Bath & Beyond has it if u can't find it in your grocery store.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

I've had good results with a vinegar and salt paste. And for real, try a spot with ketchup. Either takes some time depending on the patina.

Not sure if it will work, but Coca Cola has many, many uses.

As misfit said, Ketchup may do the trick.
There is a comercial product called "Never Dull" that is sold in auto and marine supply outlets, It is a non-abrasive brass cleaner, should work on copper too.

Barkeepers Friend will clean them up nicely. I'd be careful using them for cooking, however. Copper reacts in nasty unhealthy ways with a number of foods. The only real use for an unlined copper bowl in a kitchen is whipping egg whites. (Copper lined with stainless or, more traditionally, tin, is another story. It makes wonderfully responsive cookware. I have and use a lot of it.)
