Brass Utensils for Cooking

In India, brass utensils for cooking have been a part of the kitchen for centuries. These brass items are made up of a natural alloy of copper and zinc. These utensils are valued not only for their golden, shiny surface but also for their health benefits.

Eating from brass utensils plays a vital role in improving digestion, boosting immunity, and, at the same time, retaining the natural nutrients of food.

The Importance of Tinning (Kalai)

When you cook in brass utensils, the tin coating (kalai or you can say tin-lined) plays a vital role; it acts as a protective layer that prevents food from reacting with the metal, especially when you cook acidic dishes in it. This layer makes brass cookware completely safe for daily use. Ensuring your meals stay true and flavorful.
