About these pieces
Kadais, sauce pans, kettles, handis and parats for a working kitchen. Fifty-four are brass, eleven are stainless steel and two are bronze. Depths run from about 2.5 inch to 7.2 inch, and weights from 340 g to 2.5 kg.
Buy by capacity and by what you cook. A 1 litre kadhai is right for tadka, a small sabzi or frying for two. A kettle of 650 ml serves tea for two or three. A deep parat is for kneading atta. Heavier brass spreads heat more evenly and is less likely to scorch food at the base, so compare weights between two pieces of the same size. A lid is worth having for slow cooking; the listing says if one is included.
Brass for cooking is traditionally used with a kalai (tin) lining, which wears off with use and needs redoing by a kalaiwala. Check the listing to see whether a piece is lined. Without lining, do not cook or store sour food such as tomato, tamarind, curd or lemon dishes in brass. Use wooden spoons and wash by hand.
