Why Choose the ASHTOK Copper Patila?

Traditional Hammered Copper Design

The hammered copper exterior gives this Patila a distinctive textured appearance. Its natural reddish-copper colour complements traditional Indian kitchens and cookware collections.

Kalai Tin-Lined Interior

The cooking surface features traditional Kalai, a tin coating that separates food from the underlying copper when the lining is intact. This lining requires appropriate care and periodic inspection.

Responsive Copper Heat Conductivity

Copper conducts heat efficiently and responds quickly to changes in stove temperature, making it suitable for controlled boiling and simmering.

Deep Multipurpose Cooking Vessel

The traditional Patila or Tope design is useful for preparing rice, dal, vegetables, gravies and milk-based dishes. The vessel can also be used for serving suitable cooked foods.

Eight Practical Capacity Options

Choose from eight capacities between 350 ml and 4 litres according to your household cooking requirements.

Copper Cooking Pot with Traditional Kalai Coating

Kalai, also called Khalai, is a traditional tin lining applied to copper and brass cooking utensils.

In this Hammered Copper Cooking Pot, the lining creates a food-contact surface between the food and the copper body. Properly maintained tin-lined copper cookware is suitable for a variety of cooking applications.

To protect the Kalai, avoid overheating the empty vessel, aggressive cleaning and sharp metal utensils. If the tin coating becomes worn or exposed copper appears on the interior, arrange professional re-tinning before further cooking.
