Kadai and Cookware, Under 4 inch
About this collection
Small kadai and cookware under four inches suit a serving, a sauce, a puja offering or a kitchen gift. Brass and copper pieces look fine on a shelf, but copper is not for sour food, and steel is the choice for acidic dishes. Choose the metal for the job at home before you choose the size.
Wash brass and copper after each use and dry them fully, since copper darkens and brass tarnishes when left damp. Steel handles scouring best and suits everyday cooking in the kitchen. Keep a small kadai dry on a rack so water does not sit in the seams.

Good to know
Can a copper kadhai cook sour food?
Not for long, since copper reacts with acidic food, so use steel for tamarind or tomato-heavy dishes.
Which small cookware suits a serving?
A brass or steel piece of 3 inch suits a single serving, while copper suits a display more than daily cooking.
How should a small brass pan be cleaned?
Wash with mild soap and warm water, dry it fully, and keep it dry on a rack.
