How Should the Product Be Cared for and Used?
- Wash by hand with liquid dish soap.
- Do not machine wash.
- Never let it come into contact with bleach.
- Dry with a soft cloth after washing.
- Do not clean with harsh scouring pads.
- Due to the nature of copper, copper-colored products can oxidize, and 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.
- The interior of tin-coated products may take on the color of 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 Has Worn Off?
The tin coating on the interior surface of your copper product can wear away over time. If the silver color on the interior has disappeared and the reddish tone of the copper is clearly visible, or if spots of opening or peeling have formed, the tin may have thinned or worn away. In this case, re-tinning the product is recommended.
However, it is important to note this:
Black marks or dark stains on the interior surface do not mean the tin has worn off. This is usually a natural color change caused by use.
Does Copper Need to Be Re-Tinned?
- For copper products exposed to fire, periodic re-tinning (on average every 3 to 5 years) is recommended.
- Copper products that are not exposed to fire will not need to be re-tinned.
- Water is not acidic, so it does not wear away tin, and products such as flasks, cups and pitchers do not need re-tinning for this reason.
Is Copper Poisonous?
No, copper is not poisonous.
Copper products that are properly manufactured and properly used are safe.
Copper is a mineral essential 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 keeps copper from coming into direct contact with food.
However, the following should be kept in mind:
Acidic foods (such as those with lemon, tomato paste or vinegar) are not recommended for prolonged contact with untinned copper surfaces. For this reason, 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 healthily for many years.
❌ Untinned and unmaintained products should not be preferred.
When made by skilled hands, copper is both a safe and healthy choice.
