Slight variations in diameter, depth, weight and hammered finish are natural characteristics of handcrafted utensils. All dimensions and weights are approximate.

Care and Maintenance

Wash gently using a soft sponge and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that may damage the tin lining.

Dry thoroughly after washing and store in a clean, dry place.

With regular use, the tin lining (kalai) may gradually wear away. If the underlying brass becomes visible on the cooking surface, have the utensil professionally re-tinned before further cooking.
