Why Copper Tarnishes

Copper is a noble metal but reacts easily to air, moisture, and acids, forming a thin layer of oxidation that dulls its surface. While this patina doesn’t harm the metal, it affects both its shine and appearance.

Follow these simple steps:

1. Wash the pot with warm water and mild soap.

2. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
