About this item
Material: Made from high-quality brass, known for its excellent heat conductivity and durability.
Traditional Design: Often features a classic Indian design with a sturdy handle for easy handling.
Even Heat Distribution: Brass ensures uniform heat distribution, preventing hotspots and uneven cooking.
Ideal for Tempering: Perfect for making tadka (tempering spices) in Indian cuisine, enhancing the flavors of curries and dals.
Handcrafted: Many brass tadka pans are hand-forged, adding to their uniqueness and artisanal value.
The inside lining of brass and copper cookware is called kalai, coating, and it has many benefits, including:
Safety: Kalai protects food from poisoning and prevents the metal from blackening by keeping air away from the surface. It also creates a safe layer between the food and the metal.
Conductivity: Tin is a good conductor of heat, so kalai doesn't reduce the utensil's ability to conduct heat. It also increases the conductivity of the metal, which can reduce fuel costs.
