About the Product
This copper pot is made from pure copper by the master craftsmen of Gaziantep, 100% by hand. The interior is tin-lined, and the food-contact surface is completely safe. Thanks to copper's exceptional thermal 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
- Copper is the best heat-conducting metal after silver. It distributes heat evenly across the base and walls, so food cooks evenly throughout.
- Its high thermal conductivity makes it possible to cook at lower heat, which saves energy.

How Should the Product Be Cared for and Used?
- Hand wash with liquid detergent.
- Do not machine wash.
- Never let it come into contact with bleach.
- Dry with a soft cloth after washing.
- Do not clean with harsh scouring pads.
- Due to the nature of copper, copper-colored products may oxidize. This is not a defect but a normal occurrence. Protecting copper from moisture can slow down darkening. If darkening occurs, 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 life, hand wash copper products with a soft sponge and mild detergent, and keep them dry. Do not expose them to very high heat.

- Periodic re-tinning is recommended.
How Do I Know If the Tin Is Gone?
The tin coating on the inner surface of a copper product can 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 of peeling or flaking have appeared, 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 inner surface do not mean the tin is gone. This is usually a natural color change caused by use.
Does Copper 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.
- Water is not acidic, so it does not corrode tin. For this reason, products such as flasks, glasses and pitchers do not need re-tinning.
Is Copper Poisonous?
No, copper is not poisonous.
Copper products that are properly manufactured and properly used 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 inner surface of copper products is tin-lined. This coating keeps copper from coming into direct contact with food.
However, the following should be kept in mind:
Acidic foods (such as those containing lemon, tomato paste or vinegar) are not recommended for long contact with an unlined copper surface. Therefore, 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.
❌ Unlined and unmaintained products should not be preferred.
When produced by skilled hands, copper is both a safe and healthy choice.
