Use a cream type polish like Haggerty Copper Polish or Semi-Chrome in the
tube. They are very effective and more gentle than any other kind.

Need I say to never use anything but wood, silicone, or pastic implements
inside the pan? Metal utensils will destroy the tin lining. Do *not*
attempt to polish or use any abrasives on the tin.
