Advantages of the Copper Serving Tray
- Hand-hammered copper craftsmanship gives each tray its own distinctive character; it is completely different from mass-produced products.
- Compared to stainless steel or plastic trays, it is both more durable and more aesthetic; it can be used for decades.
How Should the Product Be Cared for and Used?
- Wash by hand with liquid dishwashing 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 sponges.
- Due to the nature of copper, copper-colored products can oxidize; this is not a defect but a normal condition. Protecting copper from moisture can slow down darkening. If it darkens, the exterior can be cleaned with metal cleaners.
- The inner surface of tin-lined products may take on the color of food depending on use. 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 Can I Tell If the Tin Has Worn Off?
The tin coating on the inner surface of your copper product may wear away over time. If the silver-colored finish on the inside has disappeared and the reddish tone of the copper is clearly visible, or if there are areas of opening or peeling, the tin may have become thin or worn. In this case, re-tinning of your product is recommended.
However, it should be specifically noted that:
Black spots or dark stains on the inner surface do not mean that the tin has worn off. This is usually a natural color change caused by use.
Does Copper Need to Be Re-Tinned?
- For copper products exposed to fire, periodic re-tinning (on average every 3-5 years) is recommended.
- For copper products not exposed to fire, re-tinning will not be necessary.
- Since water is not acidic, it does not wear away tin, so re-tinning is not needed for products such as flasks, glasses and carafes.
Is Copper Poisonous?
No, copper is not poisonous.
Copper products that are correctly manufactured and correctly used are safe.
Copper is a mineral essential 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 inner surface of copper products is tinned; this coating keeps copper's direct contact with food under control.
However, the following should be noted:
Acidic foods (such as those with lemon, tomato paste or vinegar) that remain in contact with untinned copper surfaces for a long time are not recommended. Therefore, quality production and regular tin maintenance are important.
In summary:
✔️ Tin-lined and correctly 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 a healthy choice.
