Care

• Hand-wash.
• Avoid using steel wool, steel scouring pads and harsh detergents.
• Dry immediately with soft cloth.
• Copper will develop rich patina over time. This will not affect performance.
• To keep exterior looking new, use copper polish or combination of lemon and salt.
• Tin lining protects food from reacting with copper but will become discolored over time. This is normal. Depending on frequency of use and type of food cooked, lining may eventually need to be replaced. To prolong lining's usefulness, avoid cooking acidic ingredients in tin-lined cookware.
