Here's what I found Using Science to clean your Silver…How to clean Silver utensils etcUsing a sheet of aluminum foil, hot water, baking soda, table salt and a pan to do this inPlace a sheet of Aluminum foil on the bottom of any baking panPut your tarnished silver on the sheetThe silver must be touching the aluminum sheetHeat some water (in a kettle or souse pot) enough to pour into the pan, covering the silverAdd a small amount of saltAdd a cup or two of fresh baking soda to the hot water (add baking soda before it gets to hot or your solution will bubble over) and salt solutionOnce dissolved and quite hot, pour this over the item – making sure contact is maintained between the item and the aluminum foilWatch the tarnish disappear, this process is sure to impress small children or anyone who did not pass middle school scienceRemove when water is cooler and polish dryIt works well and is far less time consuming and expensive than using a silver or metal polish Check out the website of scientist BShakhashiri for a scientific explanation of the processOr just go with what works like I do and not worry abut the reasons why scifun.chem.wisc.edu/BZS_bio/biosketch.html
Stainless steel is inert and will not react with the waterThis means that the kettle stays in like new condition for longer and does not contaminate the water for your tea or coffee.
