Customer Reviews
It's a good product.
Dear Sunil
We sincerely thank you for your kind review and rating. Enjoy cooking in them.

Team Zishta
Was so excited to start using my new Soapstone kalchatti! South Indian style dal tasted really good. I decided to season it myself, and followed the enclosed instructions closely, with excellent results. This is my first experience with a kalchatti, and I must say it is not as hard as it seems. Yes, using it might need a bit more awareness about how to handle the vessel, but it feels good to know that not only am I using non-toxic cookware, but I am also supporting the craftsmen. Kudos to Zishta’s vision of preservation of our cultural heritage. Happy to support this great cause in my little way.

Great stone quality
I have couple of kalchattis that I bought from different places. The one from zishta stands above all of my collection in their stone quality. Superb quality.
Awesome product
Recently I purchased soapstone kalchatti (large). Before purchasing I had an inquiry about it through zishta whatapp group. Thy advised me to get large size for a family of 4.which is good because I was about to book medium one. Thanks for the advice on that zishta team. About soapstone.. I ordered for a seasoned one. First time when I look at it I felt that they sent unseasoned one because of the color. I expected it in black color since I ordered a seasoned one but it was in grey color only. Later since I'm not sure I boiled rice washed water in low flame and then started making sambar. It tastes awesome. Really worth buying it. I'm happy. Thanks Archana
Good to Buy
I had bought Dosa Tawa , Kadai and Soapstone pot . Good to use but seasoning was needed. They had the pure-seasoned product too but I prefer to do seasoning myself. They also have their youtube channel where they put detailed process for seasoning. I followed the same and have been using it without worries ever since. It’s a great satisfaction knowing what I’m serving to my family is healthier and chemical free.
