- An Everlasting Keepsake
- The Most Stylish Gift
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 scouring sponges.
- Due to the nature of copper, copper-colored products can oxidize. This is not a defect but a normal occurrence. Protecting copper from moisture can slow down darkening. If it darkens, the exterior can be cleaned with metal cleaners.
- Depending on use, the interior of tin-lined products may take on the color of the 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 Copper Need to Be Re-Tinned?
- Copper products exposed to fire should be re-tinned periodically (on average every 3-5 years).
- Copper products that are not exposed to fire will not need to be re-tinned.
- Because water is not acidic, it does not corrode tin, so products such as flasks, glasses and pitchers do not need to be re-tinned.
Is This Suitable as a Gift?
Father's Day is not just a day, but a feeling. The gift you choose for that feeling should be one too. Our hand-hammered and hand-engraved pure copper ehlikeyf & glass set is made by Turkish bazaar craftsmen using traditional methods, and each piece is special in its own way. Every product is touched by human hands rather than machines, and it develops a more beautiful patina over time, making it a gift that will stay with you for years.
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 interior surfaces of copper products are tinned; this coating keeps copper from coming into direct contact with food.
However, the following should be noted:
Acidic foods (such as those with lemon, tomato paste or vinegar) that remain in contact with an untinned copper surface for a long time are not recommended. For this reason, quality production and regular tin maintenance are important.
In summary:
✔️ Properly made copper products with a tin lining are safe.
✔️ With proper use and care, they can be used healthily for many years.
❌ Untinned and unmaintained products should not be preferred.
When made by skilled hands, copper is both a safe and a healthy choice.
