What does one use, that doesn't require an all day session to clean the
copper bottoms off pots and pans?

cut a lemon in half and sprinkle salt on the open cut.  rub the cut end on
the copper.  Be sure to rinse when you're done.

Wet with vinegar, sprinkle on table salt, rub with a damp sponge,
rinse.  There are commercial cleaners, although most are abrasive.

I seem to recall tomato soup shining up the copper on a pot my mother
would cook it in.  When she'd pour the soup into bowls, some always
dripped down the outside of the pot.

Come to think of it, my aunt said something about ketchup packets being
useful, but we hadn't tested it.

I took the vinegar and salt 1 step further and used a Brillo pad afterwards
which seems to shine them up very nicely!
   Thanks for the tips all!!!

stores. it really shines them up good. Also use this on my stainless
sink.   Wylladene
