If you ever clean metal with an acid like lemon juice or vinegar, rinse it with water with a little baking soda dissolved in it. Residual acid (even microscopic amounts) can speed up oxidation but baking soda is a good and food safe way to deactivate the acid. PS love the copper pot!
Wow. What a beautiful pot. Yep, the finish from the cleaner was a shinier clean to me. Great demo. I would never have thought the lemon and salt could do that.
I love that pot ❤ Can you cook with it without it being tinned on the inside? I have pots that need to be re-tinned and I thought you shouldn't cook with copper unless it's tinned. Is this Jam Pan for display only? Thank you!
Copper cream for sure! I used to do all the copper in my parents kitchen. Take me few hours (2-3)…. I have tried the method of salt/lemon also and really, the cream is the best. Now, you know what, I don't have any copper in my own kitchen I can tell you…. 😊
They absolutely both have a place in the kitchen. I wouldn’t want to use the cream every time I wash that pan out but I would definitely not find a problem using the lemon and the salt each time. Maybe once a month do the copper cream? Or whenever I felt it really needed a deeper clean. Thank you for these great ideas!😊👍🏼
I like the natural edible cleaner instead of a chemical. So, I think clean twice per year with chemical, but on a regular basis when you use the copper pans use salt & lemon 1/2. That way you stay healthy & safe.
On the exterior of my copper pans I used bar keepers friend. If it was the internal like my whipping bowl or a jam pan, I would use food stuffs: salt and lemon or ketchup.
Yeah, Caleb, I wish I had half your energy. Don’t know how you do it all: cooking, cleaning, gardening and maintenance in the house and in your vast yard! God bless you!

One is natural and the other, who knows
How toxic is the copper cream?
Catsup, ketchup whatever you call it, works brilliantly
Have you ever used tomato catsup? I have used it and it works pretty good to
That's a beautiful pan!

That copped cream is amazing, I’ve been using it for years. They make a great silver cream too. 👍

Delightful pan. Wish i could afford more pieces.❤❤❤
That’s a lovely piece
I certainly wish I had your energy, Kaleb.
That is soooo pretty 😍
Love seeing the brightness after cleaning copper and silver. That pot is majestic!!!!!
Can you do a video on using copper pans. Aren't they possibly poisonous?
I want to know where you found that copper pan! Beautiful!

I like the luster. Makes me wonder what's in the cream. Lemon and salt is natural. Hmm
For me I use lemon and kosher salt
I'm all for the copper cleaner. That's a beautiful pan.
Any advantage to using copper pots?
Ketchup
What about flour and vinegar
The salted lemon is more natural
what is in copper cream?
Do you have any tips for reviving a cast iron skillet?

Be sure to wash this out with soap and water. These chenicals leave a horrible film that will ruin a dish!!
The copper creme wins by a little. The lemon and salt works real well. That surprised me.
Natural all the way for me. Lemon juice works perfect
How and where do you find old copper cookware? Is it typically reasonably priced? Or do people try to gouge you?
What is the copper cream made from? I think I feel more comfortable and safer, with the salt and lemon

Lemon salt method

Great job!!
Great job 😊
What a gorgeous copper pan. You scored dude. Big time. ❤️
Try indian pitambari powder,or tamarind cream
For me , I prefer to use salt and lemon because they are natural and safe to use , but the cream is made of chemicals and it is not safe to use
To me, there is more to consider. What is in the copper creme? Are you going to cook with thos pan or just display it?
Best cpper cleaner is hot sauce. No chemicals.
Thank you 🎉🎉🎉
Cool
Pls check out the health implications of cooking with copper. I have heard you can get sick from absorping copper…
