Materials required:
Place foil into the bottom of the pot and spread flatware out (pieces not touching each other)
Cover with water completely and add baking soda and salt.
Bring to a boil for two to four minutes, depending on degree of tarnish. (No longer as salt could corrode silver with time).
Use tongs to put pieces into strainer, then check under the foil to be sure everything is out.
Rinse with cold water and buff dry. Repeat.
