How Should the Product Be Cared for and Used?
- Wash by hand with liquid dishwashing detergent.
- Do not wash in a dishwasher.
- Never let it come into contact with bleach.
- Dry with a soft cloth after washing.
- Do not clean with abrasive scouring sponges.
- Due to the nature of copper, copper-colored products can oxidize. 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.
- Depending on use, the tin-lined interior of tin-coated 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 If the Tin Is Wearing Off?
The tin coating on the interior 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 clearly shows, or if patches have opened or peeled, the tin may have thinned or worn away. In this case, re-tinning your product is recommended.
However, it is important to note in particular:
Black spots or dark stains on the interior surface do not mean the tin is gone. This is usually a natural color change caused by use.
Do Copper Products Need to Be Re-Tinned?
- Copper products exposed to fire should be re-tinned periodically (on average every 3-5 years).
- Copper products not exposed to fire will not need re-tinning.
- Since water is not acidic, it does not wear away tin. Products such as flasks, cups, and pitchers therefore do not need re-tinning.
Is Copper Poisonous?
No, copper is not poisonous.
Properly manufactured and properly used copper products are safe.
Copper is an essential mineral 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 of copper products is tin-lined; this coating keeps copper from coming into direct contact with food.
However, the following should be kept in mind:
Acidic foods (such as those containing lemon, tomato paste, or vinegar) are not recommended for prolonged contact with an unlined copper surface. For this reason, quality manufacturing 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 many years.
❌ Unlined and unmaintained products should not be preferred.
When produced by skilled hands, copper is both a safe and healthy choice.
