Copper Bottom Pots

I have always loved the look of the copper bottom pots. They're so shiny! Beautiful color! There's something so nice about the look of stainless steal and copper together.

Not to mention the quality of the cooking.

I recently got a set of pots from my uncle. These have been around for a long time. You could tell which pots were "loved" and which pots were not. With the "loved" pots, you could see that the copper was dull. Being a curious person, I started researching if there was a way to restore these pots.

Little did I know that there were so many simple solutions out there. I chose the simplest method hoping to yield fantastic results. It involves a frying pan filled with vinegar (1-2 inches deep). Heat the vinegar to a simmer and add a couple tablespoons of salt. Place the copper side into the heated vinegar and keep it in for a few minutes.

You could see the copper shining almost instantly. Amazing! I felt like I was in one of those captivating infomercials.

You use the same vinegar and salt for the entire pot collection. There may be extra scrubbing involved if there are other caked on splatters and spills. The copper will shine after this vinegar bath despite the other spills.
