It will fizz and bubble - it will help if you agitate it a bit, and then the tarnish will transfer from the silver to the tin foil.
I then rinse everything VERY thoroughly and dry it all, and wipe over with a silver cloth (in the hope that it will prevent it from tarninshing again too quick!)
It seems to work well.
