About This Product
This copper pot is made from pure copper, handcrafted 100% by master artisans in Gaziantep. The interior is tin-lined, so the food-contact surface is completely safe. Thanks to copper's exceptional heat conductivity, food cooks faster and more evenly at lower heat, and its flavor and nutritional value are preserved. Small variations from handcraftsmanship make each product unique.
Benefits of Copper Pots & Cooking Advantages
- After silver, copper is the best heat-conducting metal. It distributes heat evenly to the base and walls, so food cooks evenly throughout.
- Thanks to its high heat conductivity, you can cook on lower heat, which saves energy.
How Should the Product Be Cared for and Used?
- Wash by hand with liquid detergent.
- Do not wash in a dishwasher.
- Never let it come into contact with bleach.
- After washing, dry with a soft cloth.
- Do not clean with hard scouring pads.
- Due to the natural properties of copper, copper-colored products may oxidize. This is not a defect but a normal occurrence. Protecting copper from moisture can slow down tarnishing. If it tarnishes, the exterior can be cleaned with metal cleaners.
- Depending on use, the interior of tin-lined products may take on the color of food. Cleaning with baking soda is recommended.
- For long-lasting use, wash your copper products by hand with a soft sponge and mild detergent and keep them dry. Do not expose them to very high heat.

How Do I Know the Tin Is Gone?
The tin coating on the interior of your copper product may wear away over time. If the silver color on the inside has disappeared and the reddish tone of the copper is clearly visible, or if patches have opened up or peeled, the tin may have thinned or worn away. In this case, re-tinning the product is recommended.
However, it is important to note in particular:
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 the Product Need Re-Tinning?
- Copper products exposed to heat should be re-tinned periodically (on average every 3-5 years).
- Copper products not exposed to heat will not need re-tinning.
- Because water is not acidic, it does not corrode tin, so products such as flasks, cups, and carafes do not need re-tinning.
Is Copper Poisonous?
No, copper is not poisonous.
Properly manufactured and properly used copper products are safe.
Copper is a mineral necessary for the human body. Tin-lined copper pots, pans, and flasks used in daily life are suitable for contact with food. In traditional production, the interior surface of copper products is tinned; this coating controls direct contact between the copper and food.
However, you should be aware of the following:
Acidic foods (such as those containing lemon, tomato paste, or vinegar) are not recommended for prolonged contact with an untinned copper surface. For this reason, quality production and regular tin maintenance are important.
In summary:
✔️ Tin-lined and properly manufactured copper products are safe.
✔️ With proper 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.
