Q1.What makes copper handi ideal for slow cooking?
Ans: Copper handi is prized for its exceptional heat conductivity, allowing food to cook evenly at lower temperatures. This slow and consistent heating is perfect for dishes like biryani, curries, and dals, ensuring flavors meld beautifully without burning or sticking. The tin lining further aids by providing a safe, non-reactive surface for healthier, authentic cooking.
Q2.Is the tin lining safe for all types of cooking?
Ans: Yes, the tin lining inside the copper handi is food-safe and ideal for various cooking styles, including frying, simmering, and slow cooking. It prevents direct contact between copper and acidic foods, which could otherwise cause chemical reactions. This lining preserves the taste and nutritional quality of your meals while ensuring safety.
Q3.Can I use this copper handi on electric or induction stoves?
Ans: The copper handi works best on gas and electric stoves due to its superior heat distribution. However, for induction cooktops, an induction-compatible base or adapter is necessary as copper itself is not magnetic. Always verify the base design to ensure compatibility with your stovetop before use.
Q4.How does the lid contribute to the cooking process?
Ans: The lid helps trap steam, moisture, and heat inside the handi, which accelerates cooking while preserving flavors and nutrients. It is especially useful for slow-cooked recipes, keeping the dish moist and tender. Additionally, the lid prevents spills and maintains an even cooking environment.
Q5.Is this copper handi suitable for serving as well?
Ans: Absolutely! The artisan-crafted copper handi with its elegant finish and traditional design doubles as beautiful serveware. Its classic look makes it perfect for presenting meals at family gatherings, festivals, or special occasions, adding a touch of heritage and sophistication to your dining experience.
Q6.Do you offer international shipping?

To ensure your artisan-crafted pure copper handi with tin lining remains durable and beautiful for years, proper care and maintenance are essential. Copper cookware is prized for its excellent heat conductivity and traditional charm, but its unique material requires gentle handling.
After cooking, allow the handi to cool naturally before cleaning to avoid sudden temperature changes that could warp or damage the metal. Always wash the handi by hand using warm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, which can damage both the copper exterior and the delicate tin lining inside.
The tin lining, also called kalai, is food-safe and essential for safe cooking, as it prevents copper from reacting with food. To preserve this lining, avoid metal utensils while cooking; opt for wooden, silicone, or plastic tools instead. Over time, the tin lining may wear thin with regular use, but it can be professionally re-tinned to restore its protective properties.
Copper naturally develops a warm patina with use, which some users appreciate for its rustic appearance. If you prefer to maintain a shiny finish, polish the copper exterior regularly with a gentle copper cleaner or a natural mixture of lemon juice and salt. After polishing, rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots and tarnish.
Store your handi in a dry, well-ventilated area to avoid moisture buildup, which can accelerate tarnishing. Proper storage and routine care will keep your copper handi looking elegant and performing excellently, preserving the traditional cooking experience Harishyam Arts is known for.
