How Should the Product Be Cared For and Used?
- Wash by hand 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 hard scouring pads.
- Due to the nature of copper, copper-colored products may oxidize; this is not a defect but a normal occurrence. Keeping copper away from moisture may 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-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 If the Tin Has Worn Off?
The tin coating on the interior surface of your copper product may wear away over time. If the silver-colored surface on the interior 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 thinned or worn away. In this case, re-tinning of your product is recommended.
However, it should be specifically noted that:
Black spots or dark stains on the interior surface do not mean the tin has worn off. This is most often a natural color change caused by use.
Does the Product Need to Be Re-Tinned?
- For copper products exposed to fire, periodic re-tinning (on average every 3-5 years) is recommended.
- Copper products not exposed to fire will not need re-tinning.
- Since water is not acidic, it does not erode tin, so products such as flasks, glasses and carafes do not need re-tinning.
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 interior surface of copper products is tin-lined; this coating keeps copper from coming into direct contact with food.
However, the following should be noted:
Acidic foods (such as those containing lemon, tomato paste or vinegar) are not recommended for prolonged contact with an untinned copper surface. 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 healthy choice.
