Yes indeed. :-)

I used that method the first time over 40 years ago, it was in a book for
all kinds of experiments. Yes, my mother trusted me with that! ;-)

The recipe there was 1 tbsp baking powder and 1 tsp plain salt on 1 quart
boiling water.
Place the silverware in an aluminium pot that each piece has direct contact
to the pot. Cover with the mentioned mixture. Let stand for a few minutes.
Rinse the silver well.

The down point is: It stinks since the black stuff is a sulfur compound...

And - as Jill has mentioned before - be very careful with jewelry; there
are aluminium compounds that would get severely damaged!

Bye, Sanne.
