Your Harishyam Arts Polished Brass Idli Steamer is a beautiful and durable piece of traditional cookware, crafted to deliver excellent steaming results for idlis and other foods. To keep your brass idli cooker in top condition and maintain its polished shine, proper care is essential.

After each use, allow the steamer to cool down before cleaning. Avoid sudden temperature changes like rinsing a hot brass pot with cold water, as this can cause damage. Wash the idli cooker gently by hand using warm water and a mild detergent. Use a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge to avoid scratching the polished surface.

Brass cookware naturally develops a patina over time, which can enhance its antique charm. If you prefer to keep the bright, polished finish, regular polishing is recommended. You can use natural remedies such as lemon juice with salt or a paste made of vinegar and flour to gently clean the brass. Apply the mixture, rub softly, rinse thoroughly, and dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots or tarnishing.

Dry the idli steamer completely before storing to prevent moisture buildup, which may cause discoloration or corrosion. Store it in a dry, cool place away from humidity and direct sunlight. Wrapping the cooker in a soft cloth can help protect it from dust and scratches.

When cooking, always use moderate heat to avoid overheating, which can dull the polish and damage the brass. Handle your Traditional Brass Idli Pot with Steaming Trays with care, especially when it’s hot or full of food.

With these simple care steps, your Harishyam Arts Brass Idli Cooker will remain a treasured and functional part of your kitchen for many years.
