Advantages of the Copper Serving Tray
- The hand-hammered copperwork gives each tray its own distinctive character; it is completely different from mass-produced products.
How Should the Product Be Cared for and Used?
- Wash by hand with liquid 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 hard sponges.
- Due to the nature of copper, copper-colored products may oxidize, and this is not a defect but a normal occurrence. Protecting copper from moisture may slow down tarnishing. In case of tarnishing, the exterior can be cleaned with metal cleaners.
- Depending on use, the interior of tin-lined products may take on the color of 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.
How Do I Know When the Tin Is Gone?
The tin coating on the interior surface of your copper product may wear away over time. If the silver-colored surface on the inside has disappeared and the reddish tone of the copper has become clearly visible, or if openings or peeling have formed in places, the tin may have thinned or worn away. In this case, re-tinning of your product is recommended.
However, it should be specifically noted that:
Black spots or dark stains on the interior surface do not mean that the tin is gone. This is most often a natural color change caused by use.
Is Re-Tinning Necessary for Copper Products?
- For copper products exposed to fire, re-tinning is recommended periodically (on average every 3-5 years).
- For copper products not exposed to fire, re-tinning will not be necessary.
- Since water is not acidic, it does not wear away tin, so products such as flasks, glasses and pitchers do not need re-tinning.
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 daily life are suitable for contact with food. In traditional production, the interior surfaces of copper products are tinned; 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 long contact with unlined 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.
❌ Unlined and unmaintained products should not be preferred.
Copper, when produced by skilled hands, is both a safe and a healthy choice.
