How Should the Product Be Cared for and Used?
- Wash by hand with liquid dish soap.
- 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 pads.
- 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.
- 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 may wear away over time. If the silver-colored surface inside has disappeared and the reddish tone of the copper is clearly visible, or if there are areas 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 spots 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 the Product Need to Be Re-Tinned?
- For copper products exposed to fire, periodic re-tinning (on average every 3-5 years) is recommended.
- Copper products that are not exposed to fire will not need re-tinning.
- Water is not acidic and does not erode tin, so products such as flasks, cups and pitchers do not need re-tinning.
Is Copper Poisonous?
No, copper is not poisonous.
Properly manufactured and properly used copper products 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, attention should be paid to the following:
Acidic foods (such as those containing lemon, tomato paste or vinegar) are not recommended for prolonged contact with untinned copper surfaces. Therefore, quality production and regular tin maintenance are important.
In summary:
✔️ Tin-lined, properly manufactured copper products are safe.
✔️ With proper use and care, they can be used healthily for years.
❌ Untinned and neglected products should not be preferred.
When produced by skilled hands, copper is a safe and healthy choice.
