Expert FAQ

Why is there a 15-20 day shipping timeline? +

This is a Made-to-Order heritage item. Each cooker is handcrafted and tinned specifically for your order by artisans in Tamil Nadu. This timeline ensures the meticulous attention to detail required for heirloom-quality cookware.

How do I maintain the tin coating? +

Hand wash only with a soft sponge and mild soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbers (like steel wool) on the inside to protect the soft tin lining. For the brass exterior, use lemon and salt to restore its golden glow.

Is the tin coating safe for daily use? +

Absolutely. Tin (Kalai) is the most traditional food lining used in Ayurveda for centuries. It is 100% food-safe and ideal for oil-free steam cooking.
