Falk copper cookware should not be put in a mechanical dishwasher as the detergents used in these contain harsh chemicals, which can react with the copper surface causing discoloration, marking, and in extreme cases, pitting.

In addition, this can also result is an undesirable type of oxidation with copper leaving a green deposit on the surface known as verdigris, which may contain poisonous compounds.

We recommend simply washing your copper cookware by hand with warm soapy water and drying this immediately with a soft towel.
