Don't ever fret over removing tarnish from sterling (or silver plate) again...Start with an aluminum (MUST be aluminum) pan placed in sink, add silverware, sprinkle 1/2 to 1 cup baking soda over silverware, then pour in enough boiling water to cover utensils. After tarnish disappears, remove silverware and wipe thoroughly with a soft cotton dishcloth.
