Bronze Handi - Boat | Kansa

The handi is India's most versatile cooking vessel. In the boat form—elongated, elegant, easy to serve from—it becomes both cookware and serveware. Bronze cooking in the handi tradition is how India has cooked its finest food for centuries.

Why Bronze Cookware?
Bronze heats evenly and retains heat longer than aluminium or thin steel. Food cooked in bronze absorbs trace minerals naturally. And the metal's natural properties mean less bacterial growth in the vessel between uses.

The Craft
Handcrafted solid bronze boat handi. The boat form is elegant in presentation and practical for serving—food slides out cleanly from the elongated shape.

Why You'll Cook With It
For dal, curry, kheer, and slow-cooked dishes. For table-to-stove-to-table cooking where the vessel is part of the presentation. For anyone embracing natural cookware in their kitchen.

How to Use
Season before first use. Cook on low to medium heat—bronze retains heat well. The handi works on gas; do not use on induction without an adapter.

Care & Maintenance
Hand wash while warm. Dry immediately. Season periodically with oil. Tamarind paste for exterior shine. Bronze cookware improves with every use.
