Kansa or Kansya, as written in many books gives a sharp sound, is soft, smooth to touch and clear from impurities. This is also good for cooking due to its therapeutic quality (galib, Barve et el, 2011.). The formulations of bronze of ‘Pittala’ are beneficial in diseases. The Thatheras are well versed in this knowledge and let us know if asked.

    hacks to shine

    Maintain the shine

    P-TAL utensils can be cleaned just like your other utensils. For bringing back the shine, follow the steps mentioned below:

    01

    Wash the utensil with only water to begin with.

    02

    Apply some Pitambari powder and scrub on all parts of the wet vessel.

    03

    If you don’t have Pitambari, use a mixture of 1 bowl of wheat flour (atta), 1 spoon of salt and 2-3 spoons of vinegar.

    04

    Rinse off the Pitambari or your home-made paste with water and wipe off any excess moisture.

    your vessel will now shine like it’s brand new!
    And voila!, your vessel will now shine like it’s brand new!
