[Kylie&Logan'sMommy]

so i got a great set of copper bottom stainless steel pots.

and i am loving cooking with them, but what is the best way to keep them all pretty and shiny and stuff

they keep getting looking

Rub some ketchup on the copper part, let sit for a min and wash off.

They will look just like new.

I'd go with baking soda. pour a 1/2 cup, and gently rub the surface with a wash cloth, for really stuck stuff make a paste with a bit of water baking soda and dawn and let it sit for awhile, then scrub gently.
