Care Guide
Your Kanchudhan vessels are built to last generations with proper care. Here's how to keep them beautiful and functional.
🥘 Brass Cookware (Pittal)
- Wash with warm water and mild soap after each use. Avoid harsh detergents.
- For tin-lined brass, do not use metal scrubbers — use a soft sponge.
- Re-tinning (kalai) is needed every 2-3 years with regular use. Contact us for re-tinning service.
- To restore shine, rub with a paste of lemon juice and salt, then rinse.
- Use on low to medium heat. Brass distributes heat evenly and does not need high flame.
🍽️ Bronze Dinnerware (Kansa)
- Wash with warm water and mild soap. Dry immediately with a soft cloth.
- Bronze develops a natural patina over time — this is normal and safe.
- To restore shine, use tamarind paste or a lemon-salt mixture.
- Do not store acidic foods (pickles, citrus) in bronze for long periods.
- Safe for serving hot rice, dal, curries, and dry dishes.
🥤 Copper Drinkware (Ragi)
- Fill with water at night and drink in the morning for maximum health benefits.
- Clean inside with lemon and salt once a week to prevent oxidation.
- Do not store milk, juice, or carbonated drinks in copper vessels.
- The green/brown patina on the outside is natural. It does not affect water quality.
- Hand wash only — do not use a dishwasher.
General Tips
- Never use abrasive cleaners or steel wool on any metal vessel.
- Store in a dry place to prevent moisture damage.
