Kalai creates a protective lining over the brass cooking surface and is a familiar feature of traditional Indian brass cookware.

Tin Coated Brass Kadai

This tin coated brass kadai is designed so that food comes into contact with the Kalai-lined inner surface rather than directly with unlined brass.

The lining should be handled carefully during cleaning to help extend its useful life.

Avoid harsh metal scrubbers or aggressive scraping that can damage the tin coating.

Pital Kadhai for Indian Kitchen

Its traditional form makes it suitable for customers looking for classic Indian cookware rather than lightweight modern pans.

How to Care for Kalai Coating

Kalai is a tin lining and requires gentler care than an uncoated metal surface.

To help protect the lining:

• Avoid steel wool

• Avoid aggressive scraping

• Do not overheat an empty Kadai

• Wash with a soft sponge

• Dry after cleaning

If the tin lining becomes significantly worn through regular use, traditional re-Kalai / re-tinning may eventually be required.

Cleaning the Brass Exterior

The outer brass surface may naturally darken or develop patina over time.

Use a suitable brass-cleaning method when you want to restore a brighter appearance, while keeping abrasive cleaning away from the inner tin-coated surface.
