⚠️ Care & Usage Instructions

• Before first use: Wash and boil water (fill to about 70–80%).

• After use (inside): Wash with water and a soft sponge; avoid harsh scrubbing to protect the tin lining.

• After use (outside): Wipe dry with a soft cloth; copper naturally develops a patina over time.

• Cautions:

  • Do not heat empty – may damage the tin lining

  • Do not store food inside overnight – transfer leftovers to another container

  • Verdigris (green patina) is harmless; wash gently and continue use
