The shallow round shape and sturdy metal handles with secure screw fastenings sit ready for everyday use, whether you're slow-frying in ghee or roasting spices that release their full aroma in natural heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilt from the ground up for even cooking\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unglazed clay surface distributes heat gradually and evenly across the pan, preventing hot spots that can burn food or cause uneven cooking. Unlike modern non-stick surfaces that can wear away, this natural terracotta develops character with use, while the large capacity and shallow profile give you plenty of room to toss and turn ingredients. The dual metal handles with reinforced screw attachment stay secure through years of kitchen work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy clay makes the difference in the kitchen\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eClay cookware doesn't just cook food, it breathes during the process, allowing moisture to escape slowly so curries and gravies achieve depth of flavour that steel can't quite match.

After each use, hand wash with water and a soft cloth, avoid sudden temperature changes, and store it dry in a cool place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rathna Stores","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52559445229866,"sku":"300851000000","price":780.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/0165\/3802\/files\/clay-kadai-with-metal-handles-1-1000-452-A.jpg?v=1789026077","url":"https:\/\/rathnastores.in\/products\/clay-kadai-with-handles-large","provider":"Rathna Stores","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
