How to use
Wash before first use. Cook on a low to medium flame; copper responds quickly, so high heat is rarely needed. Never heat the kadai empty, as this can damage the tin lining. Use wooden or silicone spatulas.
Care instructions
- Wash with mild soap and warm water; avoid abrasive scrubbers that wear the tin (kalai) lining.
- Clean the copper exterior with lemon and salt or tamarind to restore its shine.
- Dry immediately after washing.
- Re-tinning (kalai) every year or two keeps the lining in good shape with regular use.
Frequently asked questions
Is a copper kadai safe for cooking?
Yes. This kadai has a traditional tin (kalai) lining, so food does not come into direct contact with copper.
Can I cook sour dishes in it?
Yes. The tin lining makes it suitable for everyday curries and dals, including tomato and tamarind based dishes.
Why does copper change colour?
Copper naturally oxidises and darkens with use. It is a sign of real copper and cleans easily with lemon and salt.
Can I store lemon water or juice in copper?
No. Keep acidic drinks and foods out of copper; plain drinking water is the traditional use.
