About This Product
This copper pot is made from pure copper by master artisans of Gaziantep, 100% handmade. The interior is tin-lined, so the surface that contacts food 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 the handwork make each product unique.
Benefits of Copper Cookware & 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 heat conductivity allows you to cook at 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 nature of copper, copper-colored products can oxidize. This is not a defect but a normal occurrence. Keeping copper protected from moisture can slow down tarnishing. If it tarnishes, the exterior can be cleaned with metal cleaners.
- The tin-lined interior of products may take on the color of food depending on use. Cleaning with baking soda is recommended.
- For long life, 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 When the Tin Is Gone?
The tin lining on the inner surface of your 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 have opened up or peeled, the tin may have thinned or worn away. In this case, re-tinning of your product is recommended.
However, it is important to note this:
Black marks 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 Cookware Need Re-Tinning?
- For copper products exposed to direct heat, periodic re-tinning (on average every 3-5 years) is recommended.
- For copper products not exposed to direct heat, re-tinning will not be necessary.
- Water is not acidic, so it does not wear away tin. Therefore, products such as flasks, cups and pitchers do not need re-tinning.
Is Copper Poisonous?
No, copper is not poisonous.
Copper products that are properly made and properly used are safe.
Copper is a mineral necessary for the human body. Tin-lined copper pots, pans and flasks used in everyday life are suitable for contact with food. In traditional production, the inner surface of copper products is tinned. 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 to stay in contact with an untinned copper surface for long periods. Therefore, quality production and regular tin maintenance are important.
In summary:
✔️ Tin-lined and properly made copper products are safe.
✔️ With proper use and care, they can be used safely for many years.
❌ Untinned and poorly maintained products should not be preferred.
When made by skilled hands, copper is both a safe and healthy choice.
