Why Choose a P-TAL Kadai?
When you choose a P-TAL kadai, you're bringing home a piece of history. Each item is shaped by hand and then polished until it is smooth. Here's what makes these pieces unique:
1. Craftsmanship
Artisans use hammering methods that have been passed down from generation to generation. There aren't many other options on the market like this.
2. Dependable
Thick brass walls keeps the heat in longer. Over time, your kadai will get used to being used and stay strong.
3. Versatility
The flat base kadai stays put on modern stovetops. The versions with round bottoms work well over charcoal or gas flames. The handles stay cool, so you can move your pots and pans from the stove to the table.
4. Appeal that Stays
Brass shines in any kitchen. These pieces add a warm glow to cooking and serving, no matter how simple or detailed your decor is.
Health Benefits of Cooking in a Kadai
A kadai is more than just a real cooking surface. It also helps you eat better:
1. Evenly spreading heat
The thick walls let you cook steadily at lower temperatures. You use less oil and lower the risk of burning spices or vegetables.
2. Natural Qualities
Brass has copper in it, which is known to stop bacteria from growing. Using it often helps keep your cookware clean without using strong chemicals.
3. Adding Minerals
Your food has small amounts of brass in it, which adds to your daily mineral intake. It helps metabolism and the immune system when it is balanced with other nutrients.
How to Care for Your Indian Kadai
Follow these easy steps to keep your Indian kadai looking and working its best:
1. Only Gentle Wash
Use soap and warm water. Don't use pads that are rough and can scratch the brass.
2. Rinse and Dry
Wipe each piece dry after washing. This keeps the shine even and stops water spots.
3. Polish Occasionally
You can either mix lemon juice with salt or use a mild copper polish. For a fresh glow, rub in small circles, rinse well, and then buff dry.
4. Avoid Too Much Heat
Before you wash hot cookware, let it cool down a bit. Thinner pieces may warp if the temperature changes suddenly.
5. Take care of it
Put soft cloth or paper between the plates or kadai when you stack them. This stops scratches and dents on the surface.
