These Kal Chattis need to be preseasoned for cooking. You dont have to worry about that, we have them preseasoned and ready for you to use.
Since they retain heat longer, the cooking time reduced hence resources like fuel are efficiently used. The need to reheat is also reduced.
They say, turn off the flame 4-5 minutes before the food is fully cooked. It will continue to cook slowly in the heat retained inside the vessel.
VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW (USAGE)
- Even though these are seasoned already, the kalchatti should be introduced gently and slowly into daily cooking.
- For the first month, we recommend you to use it only for boiling. You can use it for making boiling vegetables or wet sabji. Do so on a low flame and don't let the water dry while cooking.
- Do not do any frying with oil or tadka with mustard. After a month, you can use it for frying with oil.
- Do not put to an empty kadai on the flame and pour oil into it. This will definitely lead to cracking. If you have to make a tadka and fry onions as the first step in that dish recipe, please do that part in a different vessel and then add it.
- Any exposure to sudden and high heats can lead to cracking.
- They cannot be used for deep frying method of cooking.
- While lifting them, do so only by hand or if hot, with a towel. Do not lift with any tongs or clamps.
- Wash them only by hand. Dont use a very abbrasive pad to scrub them. Do not use very strong scented soaps.
- Please note, they will break if you drop it down. So please handle them with care.
