Here is the fastest way to do this:

Material:

Old sauce pan
Aluminum foil
1 1/2 cups baking soda
2 Tablespoons salt

1. Fill the saucepan with water, baking soda, salt and a piece of aluminum foil. You can actually line the bottom of the saucepan with the foil.
2. Bring to a boil.
3. Remove from stove.
4. Now use some tongs and hold the silverware. Dip this in the water mixture.
5. Only hold it in there for a second and remove the piece.
6. Check to see if all the fire and tarnish has been removed.
7. You can dip it again.
8. Let dry, and polish as usual.
