Brass Patila/ Milk Topia

Yes. This brass patila is safe for preparing all kinds of dishes, including those with acidic ingredients like tomatoes, vinegar, or citrus. The food-safe Malaysian tin lining (kalai) prevents reactivity, making it ideal for various everyday meals.

The tin lining inside your cookware makes it naturally nonstick and completely safe to cook in. Tin is a pure, nontoxic metal that forms a natural barrier between your food and the base metal, helping retain nutrients, enhance flavor, and ensure even heat distribution.

With regular use and mild care, the tin lining lasts up to 300 uses. Over time, it will gently fade, which is a completely natural process and a mark of authentic handcrafted cookware. When that happens, you can easily restore it using our DIY Tin Coating Kit, bringing back the same shine and safety as when it was new.

No, this is incompatible with induction cooktops. That is because pure brass or copper is non-magnetic in nature and hence it doesn’t work on induction. It is best suited for oven use and gas stoves. Its flat base provides stability. Additionally, the metal's heat retention makes it perfect for slow cooking and traditional cooking.

Indeed, brass oxidises naturally under usage and in air and moisture conditions. This process creates a darker patina which is a visual feature of true, uncoated metal. It has no bearing on the health, safety, or performance of the cookware. However, you can purchase the de-oxidising cleanser from our website to bring back the shine and make the product as good as new.

Especially with frequent use, brass may lose its golden shine over time. Restoring it, though, is easy. Polish it using our deoxidising cleanser solution. In minutes your product will be glowing once again.

Yes. Malaysian tin coating (kalai) is food-safe and prevents any reaction between the metal and your food. It's a natural, non-toxic way to cook safely.

Brass and copper are free from harmful coatings. They offer better heat distribution and retain more nutrients, making them a healthier, more durable choice.

Not at all. These metals heat up quickly and evenly, helping you cook efficiently while saving fuel.

Cook on low to medium heat to protect the Malaysian tin lining. Use wooden or silicone spatulas to avoid scratches. Avoid harsh cleaners; mild soap and a soft sponge work best. Re-coat (kalai) as needed to maintain performance and safety.
