Premium Brass Cookware | Authentic Kalai-Lined Indian Kitchenware | SAMA Homes

Yes, absolutely. However, the secret is the lining. Bare brass reacts with acidic foods. That is why all SAMA Homes brass cookware features an authentic, traditional Kalai (Tin) lining on the cooking surface. This creates a 100% food-safe, non-toxic barrier that makes it perfect for everyday cooking.

Yes. Because heavy-gauge brass distributes heat so evenly and retains it beautifully, it allows spices to temper slowly and perfectly. It is the absolute gold standard for enhancing the rich, deep flavors of Indian and traditional slow-cooked dishes.

Our brass cookware is fully compatible with both gas and traditional electric coil/glass-top stoves. Note: Brass is non-magnetic, so it cannot be used directly on an induction cooktop unless you use an induction converter disc.

Hand wash only. Clean gently with a soft sponge, mild dish soap, and warm water. Never use abrasive steel wool or harsh chemical cleaners, as this will aggressively wear down the Kalai (tin) lining.

Absolutely NOT. Placing artisanal brass and Kalai-lined cookware into an automatic dishwasher constitutes severe negligence. The extreme heat and highly abrasive detergent will instantly destroy the protective tin lining and tarnish the brass exterior. Dishwasher use instantly voids all return or replacement eligibility.

We provide Free Tracked Priority Shipping to Canada and the USA on orders over $75 CAD (and a flat $15 CAD rate for smaller orders). Unused cookware in its original packaging may be returned within 30 days, subject to a 10% restocking fee. Used cookware is strictly final sale.
