This coloring alone does not mean a lining is unsafe, and it does not need to stay shiny silver to be useful. What matters is the condition of the lining: exposed copper where the tin has worn through calls for assessment and retinning before further cooking. The photographs show the differing interior appearance of the two pots; natural variation is part of their vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThree simple tips for cooking with tin-lined copper\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdd your fat or liquid first.\u003c\/strong\u003e Cover the base with oil, butter, or cooking liquid before turning on the heat.
