Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Why should I use Kansa (Bronze) for my baby instead of plastic or steel? According to the ancient science of Ayurveda, Kansa is considered a "healing metal" that offers excellent health benefits. It is naturally antimicrobial and antibacterial, helping to destroy harmful pathogens on contact. Unlike plastic or cheap metal alloys, it is completely 100% non-toxic, chemical-free, and lead-free, ensuring no synthetic coatings leach into your baby's food.
2. Are there any food restrictions when using this Kansa dinner set? No, pure Kansa is non-reactive to food. Unlike pure brass or copper, which react poorly with acidic ingredients, Kansa is highly stable and perfectly safe for serving all types of hot, cold, dry, liquid, or sour foods.
3. Why are there small black marks or minor weight differences on the set? These are not manufacturing defects.Pure Kansa utensils are individually hand-beaten and forged by traditional artisans using fire and hammers. The slight variations in size, weight, and the presence of faint charcoal or hammering marks are hallmarks of authentic, hand-crafted craftsmanship.
4. How do I properly clean and maintain the matte finish?
- Hand-wash only: Avoid using dishwashers or harsh wire/steel scrubbers, which can scratch the surface.
- Daily Cleaning: Clean immediately after use with a soft sponge and mild dishwashing liquid. Dry completely with a soft towel right away to prevent water spots.Mittified+ 1
- Restoring the Matte Glow: Over time, Kansa naturally oxidizes and turns slightly dull or dark. You can easily restore its original metallic warmth by rubbing it gently with natural cleaners like lemon and salt, tamarind paste, or Pitambari powder.
5. Can I use this set to heat food in the microwave or on a gas stove? No. Kansa dinnerware is strictly meant for serving and eating food. Do not place the items inside a microwave, oven, or directly over a kitchen stove burner.
