removing the tarnish from a silver coin in 47 seconds

I decided to try once more, with a moderately tarnished silver bank token (one of my favourite pieces). I used a little more salt and baking soda, and I made sure the water was piping hot out of the kettle. Immediate and dramatic results! Took about 47 seconds including making the mixture and boiling the water.

what are the affects after months of being polished. Does the solution keep corrosion away.

@jjsaturn93

There are no after effects, and no, it doesn't provide any kind of protection. All this process does is remove the tarnish from the silver without harming the silver.

It's an old Mirro pressure cooker pot (cheap, 'cause the lid was missing), and is marked "The Finest Aluminum" on the bottom, so I guess it's not an alloy. Also (and this may be because the contact mass of aluminum was greater), there was little or no detectable odor during or after the procedure. No discoloration, and the crust of salt rinsed right out (not that I'm gonna cook with this thing). =^[.]^=
