Q: Is this set safe for kids to eat from?
A: Absolutely. Because this is Pure Kansa (free from lead, zinc, or nickel), it is entirely safe, non-toxic, and highly durable for family members of all ages.
Q: Is it safe for all types of food?
A: Perfect for rice, dal, and dry foods. Avoid highly acidic foods (curd, lemon, pickles, tomatoes), as they can react with the metal.
Q: Can I use it for cooking or storage?
A: No. Kansa is strictly for serving and eating. Do not cook in it, microwave it, or store food in it overnight.
Q: Will the matte finish turn dark or green?
A: Yes, pure Kansa naturally oxidizes and darkens over time when exposed to air and food. This is a sign of 100% purity.
Q: How do I clean it without scratching the matte finish?
A: Use a soft sponge, warm water, and mild liquid soap. Never use steel wool or put it in the dishwasher. Wipe dry immediately to prevent water stains.
Q: Can I remove the dark oxidation stains?
A: Easily. Rub the surface gently with a paste of baking soda and water (or traditional Pitambari powder), rinse, and dry.
Q: Is it breakable?
A: While highly durable and dent-resistant, pure Kansa (bell metal) is brittle. Dropping it heavily on hard floors can cause it to crack.
