Copper pots - A timeless kitchen treasure

A simple and economical recipe will give your coppers a new shinny life

Here is a very simple way to polish your coppers in minutes!

I learned this technique while attending chef’s school in France back 40 years ago and I still found it the best and most economical & ecological way to bring some life back to your old copper!

All you need are a few simple ingredients and 10 minutes to spare.

1/2 cup coarse salt
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup egg white


1. Mix all ingredients together to a paste.
Optional: Add a little extra coarse salt as needed to obtain more grit to the mix for thick copper that needs more attention.

2. Using some gloves, rub some mixture over the copper, massaging with the palm of your end to cover the entire surface. Let stand for 5 minutes.

3. Rub the mix one more time. Rinse throughout under warm water. Dry immediately.
