After use, wash with a soft sponge and mild kitchen detergent. If the luster begins to fade, use baking soda. Also, since 100% tin is soft, do not scrub with a hard brush, as this may scratch the surface. Due to its low melting point, do not place near open flames. As it is a metal, it cannot be used in the microwave. Do not use in the dishwasher or dryer as it may become very hot.
Do not store in the freezer, as low temperatures may cause the tin to deteriorate. Also, avoid storing it in the refrigerator for long periods of time. Also, do not store highly acidic or dark-colored foods in it for long periods of time, as this may cause discoloration.
