Q1. Is this Brass Biryani Handi safe for direct cooking on gas stoves?
Ans: Yes, the Brass Biryani Handi is perfectly safe for direct cooking on traditional gas stoves. Its sturdy construction and thick brass base allow for even heat distribution, which is ideal for slow cooking or dum-style preparation. However, we recommend using a medium flame to preserve the handi's longevity and maintain the flavor profile of the food being prepared.
Q2. Can I use this handi for dishes other than biryani?
Ans: Absolutely! While this handi is specially designed for dum biryani, it is also versatile enough to prepare a variety of dishes such as pulao, curries, stews, and even desserts like kheer. Its heat-retaining properties make it suitable for any dish that benefits from slow cooking and sealed heat, enhancing flavor and texture naturally.
Q3. What makes this handi different from other metal cookware?
Ans: Unlike aluminum or stainless steel, this brass handi is handcrafted, offering both traditional aesthetics and cooking benefits. Brass is known for its superior heat conductivity, which helps in even cooking. Additionally, food prepared in brass often has a unique taste and aroma. Each piece from Harishyam Arts is made by skilled artisans, making it not just cookware but a part of Indian culinary heritage.
Q4. Is this handi coated or is it pure brass?
Ans: The handi is made from pure brass, without any synthetic coating or chemical treatment. Harishyam Arts ensures authenticity by sourcing high-quality brass, keeping the material food-safe and naturally durable. This purity ensures that your meals are free from toxins and that you receive the full health and flavor benefits associated with traditional brass cookware.
Q5. Can this handi be used for serving food directly at the table?
Ans: Yes, it serves beautifully as both cookware and serveware. The elegant design and polished finish make it a charming centerpiece for your dining table. It retains heat well, so your food stays warm longer. Whether you're hosting a dinner or presenting a traditional meal, the handi adds a rustic and royal touch to your table setting.

To ensure your Harishyam Arts Pure Brass Dum Biryani Handi remains in excellent condition and continues to enhance your cooking experience for years, proper care and maintenance are essential. Brass cookware is not only durable but also requires special attention to retain its natural shine and cooking efficiency.
After each use, allow the handi to cool down naturally before cleaning. Avoid sudden temperature changes, as this may cause warping or damage to the metal. Always wash the handi with warm water and a mild detergent using a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch the surface and diminish the handi’s beautiful finish.
To maintain the brass’s natural luster, it is recommended to occasionally polish your handi with a natural brass cleaner or a homemade mixture of lemon juice and salt. Apply the mixture gently with a soft cloth, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely. Regular polishing helps prevent tarnishing and keeps your handi looking vibrant and fresh.
When storing your handi, ensure it is completely dry to prevent any moisture buildup, which can cause discoloration or corrosion over time. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably wrapped in a soft cloth or stored in a breathable bag to protect it from dust and humidity.
Additionally, avoid prolonged contact with highly acidic or salty foods during cooking, as these can affect the brass surface if left for extended periods. However, brief exposure during normal cooking will not harm the handi.
By following these simple care tips, your Brass Biriyani Handi (Paanai-Pot) from Harishyam Arts will continue to provide you with exceptional performance and bring a touch of traditional elegance to your kitchen for generations to come.
