About the Product
This copper pot is made from pure copper, handcrafted 100% by master artisans in Gaziantep. The interior is tin-lined, so the surface that contacts food is completely safe. Thanks to copper's exceptional heat conductivity, food cooks more evenly and quickly at a lower heat, preserving flavor and nutritional value. Small variations from handcrafting make each product unique.
Benefits of Copper Pots & Cooking Advantages
- After silver, copper is the best heat-conducting metal. It distributes heat evenly across the base and walls, so food cooks evenly throughout.
- Thanks to its high heat conductivity, you can cook at a lower heat setting, which saves energy.

How Should the Product Be Cared For and Used?
- Hand wash with liquid dish soap.
- Do not put in the dishwasher.
- Never let it come into contact with bleach.
- After washing, dry with a soft cloth.
- Do not clean with hard scouring pads.
- Copper naturally oxidizes, and this is a normal condition, not a defect. Protecting copper from moisture can slow down darkening. If it darkens, the exterior can be cleaned with metal cleaners.
- The interior of tin-lined products may take on the color of food depending on use. Cleaning with baking soda is recommended.
- For long-lasting use, hand wash your copper products with a soft sponge and mild detergent and keep them dry. Do not expose them to very high heat.

- Copper products exposed to direct heat should be periodically re-tinned.
- Copper products not exposed to direct heat will not need to be re-tinned.
- Periodic re-tinning is recommended.
How Do I Know If the Tin Is Gone?
The tin lining on the interior of your copper product may wear away over time. If the silver-colored surface on the inside has disappeared and the reddish tone of copper is clearly visible, or if there are patches of lifting or peeling, the tin may be thinned or worn. In this case, re-tinning of your product is recommended.
However, it is important to note this:
Black spots or dark stains on the interior do not mean the tin is gone. This is usually a natural color change caused by use.
Does Retinning Ever Need to Be Done?
- Copper products exposed to direct heat should be periodically re-tinned (on average every 3-5 years).
- Copper products not exposed to direct heat will not need to be re-tinned.
- Since water is not acidic, it does not wear away tin, so products such as flasks, cups and carafes do not need re-tinning.
Is Copper Toxic?
No, copper is not toxic.
Copper products that are properly made and properly used are safe.
Copper is a mineral essential to the human body. Tin-lined copper pots, pans and flasks used in everyday life are suitable for contact with food. In traditional production, the interior surfaces of copper products are tin-lined; this coating keeps copper from coming into direct contact with food.
However, please keep in mind:
Acidic foods (such as those containing lemon, tomato paste or vinegar) are not recommended for prolonged contact with untinned copper surfaces. For this reason, quality production and regular tin maintenance are important.
In summary:
✔️ Tin-lined and properly made copper products are safe.
✔️ With correct use and care, they can be used healthily for many years.
❌ Untinned and unmaintained products should not be preferred.
When produced by skilled hands, copper is both a safe and healthy choice.
