How Should the Product Be Cared For and Used?
- Wash by hand with liquid dish detergent.
- Do not wash in a machine.
- Never let it come into contact with bleach.
- After washing, dry with a soft cloth.
- Do not clean with hard scrubbing sponges.
- Due to the nature of copper, copper-colored products can oxidize, and this is not a defect but a normal occurrence. Protecting copper from moisture may slow down darkening. In case of darkening, 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.
Does Tin Need to Be Reapplied to Products?
- For copper products exposed to heat, retinning is recommended periodically (on average every 3-5 years).
- Copper products not exposed to heat will not need to be retinned.
- Water is not acidic, so it does not erode tin. For this reason, products such as flasks, cups, and pitchers do not need to be retinned.
How Do I Tell If the Tin Is Gone?
The tin coating on the interior 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 where the coating has opened or peeled, the tin may have thinned or worn away. In this case, retinning of your product is recommended.
However, it is important to specifically note that:
Black spots or dark stains on the interior surface do not mean the tin is gone. This is usually a natural color change caused by use.
Is Copper Poisonous?
No, copper is not poisonous.
Copper products that are properly manufactured and properly used are safe.
Copper is a mineral essential to 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 surfaces of copper products are tin-lined; this coating keeps copper from coming into direct contact with food.
However, please note the following:
Acidic foods (such as those with lemon, tomato paste, or vinegar) are not recommended for long-term contact with an unlined 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 safely for many years.
❌ Unlined and unmaintained products should not be preferred.
When produced by skilled hands, copper is both a safe and healthy choice.
