Yes, copper is not toxic. If you are for some reason sensitive to copper due to an allergy or disease however, this would probably be a bad idea. If you are concerned about consuming too much copper, avoid cooking acidic things in the pot, they will leech more of the copper. But you should be fine anyway.
