Yes, copper, brass, and bronze utensils are safe when used correctly.

• Copper should be lined (usually with tin or stainless steel) when used for cooking to avoid direct contact with acidic foods.
  
• Brass is excellent for dry storage, serving, and decorative purposes but should not be used for cooking acidic items.
  
• Bronze is ideal for eating and drinking; it's known for its Ayurveda-backed health benefits and safe for daily use.
  
  Using traditional metalware not only enhances your kitchen aesthetics but also supports holistic wellness.

Each metal offers unique health benefits:

• Copper is known for its antimicrobial properties and helps improve digestion and immunity when used for water storage.
  
• Brass can help preserve nutrients in dry foods and lends a vintage charm to kitchens.
  
• Bronze balances the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and promotes gut health, according to Ayurveda.
  
  Switching to traditional metal utensils is a conscious step toward healthier and sustainable living.
  

Cleaning is easy with natural or traditional solutions:

• Pitambari powder, lemon and salt, or tamarind paste for regular cleaning.
  
• Always dry utensils thoroughly to prevent tarnish.
  
• For long-term care, avoid harsh dishwashers and store in dry places.
  
  Maintaining these metals properly preserves their shine, usability, and heritage value.
