About the Product
This copper pot is made from pure copper by master craftsmen in Gaziantep, 100% handmade. The inside 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 a lower flame, and its flavor and nutritional value are preserved. Small variations from handcraftsmanship make each product unique.
Benefits of Copper Pots & Cooking Advantages
- After silver, copper is the best heat-conducting metal. It distributes heat evenly to the base and walls, so food cooks evenly throughout.
- Its high heat conductivity allows cooking at a lower flame, saving energy.
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 harsh scouring sponges.
- Due to the natural properties of copper, copper-colored products may oxidize. This is not a defect but a normal occurrence. Keeping copper away 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 the Product Need to Be Re-Tinned?
- For copper products exposed to direct heat, re-tinning is recommended periodically (on average every 3 to 5 years).
- Copper products that are not exposed to direct heat will not need to be re-tinned.
- Water is not acidic, so it does not wear away tin. Products such as flasks, cups, and carafes therefore do not need to be re-tinned.
How Do I Know if the Tin Has Worn Off?
The tin coating on the inside of your copper product may wear away over time. If the silver color on the inner surface 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:
Black spots or dark stains on the inner surface do not mean the tin has worn off. 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 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 tin-lined; 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) are not recommended for prolonged contact with unlined copper surfaces. For this reason, quality production and regular tin maintenance are important.
In summary:
✔️ Properly manufactured, tin-lined 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.
