Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Do I need to season the Brass Degchi before first use?

Just wash, rinse, and dry thoroughly - no seasoning required. Ensure the tin coating is intact before cooking.

Q2. Are there any utensils I should avoid while cooking?

Metal utensils can scratch the surface of the brass and cause it to corrode more quickly. It's best to use utensils made of wood or silicone to avoid damaging the cookware. 

Q3. What should I do if the tin lining wears off?

Stop cooking immediately and get it re-tinned before further use.

Q4. Does the exterior get very hot while cooking?
Yes. Brass conducts heat well, so use mitts or handles for safe handling. 

Q5. How to clean Brass Degchi?

After each use, clean the brass cookware with warm water and mild detergent. Use a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching the surface. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely to prevent moisture from building up.
