Frequently Asked Queries
What is the Silver/steel finish on the inside of Brass and Copper Cookware
What you see on the cooking surface is called "Kalai" where we apply pure tin metal as a protective surface to prevent excessive leaching of copper /zinc into the food cooked in them.
How frequently do we have to re-do the kalai?
Depending on usage, the kalai can last anywhere between 8-15 months. Once you see the brass/metal colour on the inside cooking surface, please make sure you re-do the kalai and then use the cookware.
If we do the Kalai, how does the benefit of cooking in brass or copper get transferred to the food?
The key benefits of cooking in brass or copper is two folds:
1) Preserving >90% of nutrition- this does not get impacted due to Kalai
2) Neutralising Acidity: As tin metal as well as base copper or brass are alkaline metals, all the metals assist in neutralising acidity.
Both these key benefits are transferred to the food with the kalai.
