Arra brass tea pan with wooden handle

-Before using your brass cookware for the first time, place it on the flame for a few minutes. Once the brassware has cooled off, wash it with normal water. Follow it up with cooking the desired recipe. -After cooking, transfer the cooked food immediately into a serveware. Brass being acidic in nature, it is not recommended for storage purposes. -Avoid soaking it in water as it comes with a wooden handle. -It is not dishwasher friendly. So, wash the utensil after cooking, and dry it with a kitchen linen.

Tips to maintain the metallic lustre -Though the ageing process for any metal is natural and a sign of its purity, we can prolong the metal's lustre with a bit of care. -To delay the ageing and tarnishing process, gently rub the brass wares with a thin coat of any cooking oil. -You may use Pitambari powder once in a while, which is readily available in the market. Make a paste of this powder and apply it to the brassware. Let it stay for a few minutes but don't let the paste dry. Wash it with water to regain its lustre. -Instead of Pitambari powder, you may also polish brassware with ingredients such as tamarind, vinegar or lime.
