Beyond its stunning visual appeal, hammering compresses the metal grains, making the brass denser, stronger, and more resilient to denting over a lifetime of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQ: Will the flat base let me use this kadhai on an induction cooktop?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eA:\u003c\/b\u003e No. While the flat base provides perfect, non-wobble stability on gas stoves, electric coils, and smooth-top halogen\/glass ranges, pure brass is a non-magnetic metal.

Second, \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"175\"\u003enever use metal ladles or steel scrubbers\u003c\/b\u003e.

This is completely normal for traditional cookware. When the brass becomes clearly visible at the bottom, simply take it to a local \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"253\"\u003eKalai\u003c\/i\u003e artisan (or contact Pcoka customer care) to have it re-tinned, restoring it to brand-new condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQ: The exterior brass handles get warm during cooking.

Because the heavy-duty handles are made of pure solid brass, they will absorb heat over extended cooking sessions. We highly recommend using kitchen mittens or a cloth towel when lifting the hot kadhai from the stove.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PCOKA","offers":[{"title":"1.5L","offer_id":44337741922347,"sku":null,"price":4500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5L","offer_id":44337741955115,"sku":null,"price":5100.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3L","offer_id":44337741987883,"sku":null,"price":5780.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/7148\/5483\/files\/Pure_Brass_Deep_Kadhai_with_flat_base_n_lid_Measurement_pcoka_pure_brass_handmade_jandiala_original_complete_picture_f03e3d06-ea37-4ced-b1f3-763daaa32f75.jpg?v=1783960610","url":"https:\/\/pcoka.com\/products\/pure-brass-kadhai-with-brass-lid-kalai-tin-coated-with-brass-handle-flat-base-hammered-finish","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
