How Should the Product Be Cared for and Used?
- Wash by hand with liquid dishwashing detergent.
- Do not machine wash.
- Never let it come into contact with bleach.
- After washing, dry with a soft cloth.
- Do not clean with hard sponges.
- 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 can slow down tarnishing. If tarnishing occurs, the exterior can be cleaned with metal cleaners.
- On tin-lined products, the interior may take on the color of the food depending on use. 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 Is Gone?
The tin coating on the inner 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 spots 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:
Black marks or dark spots on the inner surface do not mean the tin is gone. This is most often a natural color change caused by use.
Does Copper Need to Be Re-Tinned?
- For copper products exposed to fire, re-tinning is recommended periodically (on average every 3-5 years).
- Copper products not exposed to fire will not need re-tinning.
- Water is not acidic, so it does not corrode tin; therefore, products such as flasks, glasses and pitchers do not need re-tinning.
Is Copper Poisonous?
No, copper does not poison.
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 interior surface of copper products is tinned; this coating controls the direct contact of copper with food.
However, the following should be noted:
Acidic foods (such as those containing lemon, tomato paste or vinegar) are not recommended for long contact with an untinned copper surface. Therefore, 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.
❌ Untinned and unmaintained products should not be preferred.
When produced by skilled hands, copper is both a safe and healthy choice.
