Saucepan - hammered brass and tin coated (kalai) with brass lid

Hand-Hammered Brass Saucepan (Handi) with Tin Coating – A Culinary Masterpiece from India

Experience the rich heritage of Indian cooking with our exquisite Hand-Hammered Brass Saucepan, traditionally known as a "Handi." This stunning piece of culinary art is not just a cooking vessel; it's a testament to centuries of artisanal craftsmanship, designed to bring authenticity, beauty, and exceptional cooking performance to your international kitchen.

Each Handi is meticulously hand-hammered by skilled Indian artisans, a process that not only creates its unique, captivating texture but also strengthens the brass, enhancing its durability and heat distribution properties. The distinct rounded bottom and wide mouth are characteristic of traditional Indian cookware, perfect for slow-cooking stews, curries, and sauces, allowing flavors to meld beautifully.

Crafted from high-quality brass, this Handi offers superior heat conductivity, ensuring even cooking and reducing hot spots. The interior features a meticulously applied, food-safe tin coating (known as "kalai"), a traditional practice that prevents the brass from reacting with acidic foods, ensuring your dishes remain pure in taste and color. This tin lining also makes the Handi easy to clean and maintain, promising years of cherished use.

While deeply rooted in Indian culinary traditions, this brass Handi is incredibly versatile. It's ideal for simmering hearty soups, reducing delicate sauces, preparing fragrant rice dishes, or slow-cooking tender meats. Its aesthetic appeal makes it perfect for both cooking and serving directly at the table, adding an exotic, elegant touch to your dining experience.
