1. Which material is suitable for kadai?

Materials suitable for kadai are – aluminum, lead, copper, stainless steel, lead, Teflon and iron.

2. Is cooking in stainless steel kadai good for health?

Stainless steel is made up of nickel, chrome and iron. It is referred as stainless steel because it is corrosion and rust resistant. This why, it is the best option to cook with. Stainless steel has the capability to distribute the heat evenly throughout the kadai. This makes it perfect for flat baking sheets and griddle cooking. As long as you soak the stainless steel kadai right after the cooking using a lubricant (cooking spray), then it is easy to clean. Compared to the kadais made up of other materials, stainless steel ones are expensive. Stainless kadais have been durable and stand the test of time. There is no reason to believe that food cooked in stainless steel is harmful.

3. How to season a kadai?

Before cooking, we recommend to lightly coat the inside of the non-coated aluminum or stainless steel or carbon steel kadai using some vegetable oil or shortening. Now, you can place the kadai over a burner at medium heat of 5 to 10 minutes. You have to let the heat until light smoke or heat wave appears. When the oil or shortening turns into amber color, switch off the burner and let the kadai cool down. Now pour out the excess amounts of oil and wipe the kadai with paper towel until the coating is removed. Seasoning the kadai will prolong its life. After every use, we recommend to use mild soapy solution to clean it. You can repeat the procedure as per the requirement as long as you don’t damage the cookware.

4. Is it ok to deep fry in a kadai?

An ideal kadai for deep frying should have heavy metal bottom so that the oil can heat slowly. This will provide steady boil and prevents scorching as well. The kadai should have at least 5 inches depth as you will need 5 to 6 cups of oil for deep frying the items. This will let you fry the items without spilling the oil all over the stove or kitchen platform.

5. Is kadai with granite coating good for health?

Usually granite cookware is used for frying pans. Most of the granite cookware utensils come with stainless steel core. And it is usually topped up with glass coating. Granite cookware utensils come with porcelain enamel fused at 2,000F. This will create non-stick glass surface which is inert and non-porous. Compared to previous generations, granite is much lighter now because of technological advancements. Granite coating is considered safe unless the kadai has PFOA and PTFE on plans. For Teflon coating, several chemicals are used. Including that, granite cookware looks much similar to non-stick cookware. Some granite cookwares come with porcelain coating. To prevent the coating from wearing off, it is recommended to use wooden utensils instead metal. If the porcelain coating has been destroyed, you should not use it anymore. To know if the coating has been damaged or not, you can simply fry on egg. If the egg sticks to pan, then it is damaged and no longer safe to cook.

6. Which material is good for kadai?
