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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepending on use, the interior of tin-lined products may take on the color of the food.

Products such as flasks, cups and pitchers therefore do not need to be re-tinned.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow Do I Know If the Tin Is Gone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tin coating on the inner surface 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 openings or peeling have formed in places, the tin may have thinned or worn away. In this case, re-tinning your product is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, it is important to point out the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack spots or dark stains on the inner surface do not mean the tin is gone. This is usually a natural color change caused by use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Copper Poisonous?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, copper is not poisonous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProperly made and properly used copper products are safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCopper is a mineral that the human body needs. Tin-lined copper pots, pans and flasks used in daily life are suitable for contact with food. In traditional production, the inner surface of copper products is tinned; this coating controls the direct contact of copper with food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, attention should be paid to the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcidic foods (such as those containing lemon, tomato paste or vinegar) are not recommended to stay in contact with an untinned copper surface for a long time. Therefore, quality production and regular tin maintenance are important.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn summary:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e✔️ Tin-lined and properly made copper products are safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e✔️ With proper use and care, they can be used safely for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e❌ Untinned and uncared-for products should not be preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen produced by skilled hands, copper is both a safe and healthy choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COPPERZ","offers":[{"title":"Copper","offer_id":67995842871348,"sku":"MturkBZ-8713639166087-bakir","price":81.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":67995842904116,"sku":"MturkBZ-8713639166087-siyah","price":81.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/7637\/0484\/files\/flat-copper-ashtray-5656961.png?v=1794453135","url":"https:\/\/mallturk.com\/products\/flat-copper-ashtray","provider":"MALLTURK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
