Why Choose Soapstone Kadaai?

Soapstone is a naturally occurring stone with properties that make it ideal for cooking. Its natural alkalinity helps balance the acidity of ingredients like tamarind and tomatoes, giving your dishes a rich, deep flavor that you simply can’t achieve with other cookware. The Ethnic Pots and Pans Soapstone Kadaai is perfect for preparing traditional South Indian dishes such as sambar, rasam, kara kozhambu, and vathal kuzhambu. It also excels in cooking chicken curries, stews, and other slow-simmered gravies. The result? A flavor-packed meal with a distinct taste that you’ll crave again and again.

• Pre-Seasoned for Immediate Use

This soapstone kadaai comes pre-seasoned with natural turmeric and pure castor oil, allowing you to start cooking right away. The seasoning process not only enhances the non-stick properties of the pot but also adds a subtle depth of flavor to your dishes. Upon touching the kadaai, you’ll feel the smoothness of the seasoning, which ensures that your food cooks evenly without sticking to the surface. With proper care, the kadaai will only improve with time, making it an invaluable part of your kitchen for years to come.
