  1. 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!

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  4. 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…. 😊

  5. 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!😊👍🏼

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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!
