I recently tried to clean my metal meat grinder by boiling it with baking soda. The result were a very tarnished metal that I can't remove. How do I get this dark tarnish off the metal.

It sounds like it was cast aluminum. It probably won't polish back to the original state. You could try using Aluminum Jelly or a product called Metall (in the tube) by Zymol.
You can try boiling it with cream of tartar in the water. You get it in the spice section in the supermarket.
