tin: use steel wool if only lightly rusted and buff until shiny. light coat of cooking oil to seal and help prevent rust.
cooper: tarnish just looks ugly but can be removed w/ steel wool as well. again, veg. oil as coating.
(veg oil applied as lightly as possible)
always wash and dry and reoil asap.
How about stainless steel ones that are rusted? Any ideas on that or should they be tossed?
that they aren't truly stainless.
if steel wool doesn't get it...try emery cloth
if that doesn't do it, the finest grit sandpaper (usually a wet/dry paper) use for sanding metal when doing body work on a car.
if that doesn't do it...a coarser grit of bodywork sand paper.
and keep increasing coarseness until it works
once have it off, reverse the order of the mateirals use until back to steel wool for a very smooth poished finish.
often stainless isn't rusted but actually "pitted" and that's almost impossible to remove.

other than tasting terrible...rust isn't poisonous or dietary problem -- EXCEPT for those with a medical condition that causes the body to store excessive amounts of iron -- the metal in rust.
