Materials:
Copper (exterior), tin (interior), wood (handle)
Variation:
Copper will patina quickly. Contact with natural oils, acid, and even oxygen will change the color and this is part of its natural beauty. Change in color, spotting and tarnishing will not make the pitcher harmful to the body and is not a sign of damage.
Care Instructions:
Not dishwasher safe. Not microwave safe. Not meant for induction stove. Not oven safe. Do not put on heat without liquid inside (not suitable for dry heating). Copper is well known as a high performance metal for cooking. Tin will start to melt at very high heat (240 C), so compared to other metals it is more sensitive to heating so do not do any dry heating - you must always cook with liquid inside. Dry heating example is putting oil inside pot and cooking minced garlic. Only cook with liquid inside!
Before cooking - seasoning process: Put water in pot and bring to a boil. The water will pull out residue from the pot and it will float on top of the water. Toss the water after you've drawn it this residue.
When cooking: Be ready for faster cooking times and be sure to have your ingredients ready to go when cooking! Use Med-Hi heat as a maximum. The tin lining of copper cookware is a soft, so avoid scratching the tin cooking surface with steel utensils, and opt for wooden or silicone instead.
To clean after use: Fill with a water, adding a little dish soap, and leave it to simmer is often enough to free any stuck-on bits, which can then be wiped away easily. Avoid any strong abrasive scrubbers like steel wool and sponge scrubber pads. Tin as well as the copper will naturally darken and change color with heat exposure, which cannot be washed away. If you do dribble food and worry about irregular spotting, make sure to wipe or wash it off before it has a chance to singe on.
Troubleshoot: If you see any green and blue stains, these are normal and not harmful to the body - but you can try and remove with a vinegar and salt mixture that you apply it with a soft cloth and remove with water and dish soap.
To maintain: If you notice the wood handle starting to dry out, you can apply oil (egoma oil, olive oil, salad oil).
