About the Product
This mini sahan copper breakfast set is made from pure copper and handcrafted 100% by skilled artisans in Gaziantep. The set consists of mini-sized, lidded sahan-style vessels that let you serve cheese, olives, jam, honey, butter and similar breakfast items separately, both fresh and stylishly presented. Its lidded design keeps the food protected until it is served, helping it retain its warmth and freshness for longer. The interiors of all the sahans are tin-lined, and the surfaces that contact food are completely safe. Combining the traditional copper sahan craft with modern tableware aesthetics, this set is destined to become a favorite at wedding, engagement and special occasion tables. Why This Set?
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 harsh scouring pads.
- Due to the natural properties of copper, copper-colored products may oxidize; this is not a defect but a normal occurrence. Keeping copper away from moisture can slow down darkening. If darkening occurs, the exterior can be cleaned with metal cleaners.
- Depending on use, the tin lining on the inside 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 if the Tin Is Gone?
The tin coating on the inner 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 has become clearly visible, or if patches have opened up 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 the following:
Black 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.
Does Tin Need to Be Reapplied to Products?
- 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 to be re-tinned.
- Water is not acidic, so it does not erode tin. Therefore, products such as flasks, glasses and carafes 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 that the human body needs. Tin-lined copper pots, pans and flasks used in everyday life are suitable for contact with food. In traditional production, the inner surface 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 with lemon, tomato paste or vinegar) are not recommended for long contact with an unlined copper surface. For this reason, quality production and regular tin maintenance are important.
In summary:
✔️ Properly manufactured, tin-lined copper products are safe.
✔️ With correct use and care, they can be used healthily for many years.
❌ Unlined and poorly maintained products should not be preferred.
When produced by skilled hands, copper is both a safe and healthy choice.
