Q1. What is the benefit of using a tin-coated interior in a copper handi?
Ans: The tin-coated interior in our pure copper handi provides a non-reactive cooking surface, making it safe for preparing acidic foods like tomatoes and tamarind-based curries. Tin prevents copper from leaching into food while preserving the flavor and nutritional value of traditional Indian dishes. This combination of copper and tin has been used for centuries in Indian kitchens for its excellent heat distribution and cooking benefits.
Q2. Is this handi suitable for use on modern cooktops like gas or induction?
Ans: The Harishyam Arts Pure Copper Handi is ideal for use on gas stoves, where it performs best due to copper’s excellent heat conductivity. However, copper is not naturally compatible with induction cooktops unless used with a converter plate. On ceramic or electric stoves, it should be used with care to avoid scratching the surface. Always use medium heat to protect the tin lining.
Q3. Can I use this traditional copper degchi for daily cooking?
Ans: Yes, this traditional copper degchi is perfectly suitable for daily use when handled with care. It's especially beneficial for cooking slow-cooked meals such as dals, kormas, and biryanis. The even heat distribution of copper ensures consistent cooking results. If you're someone who enjoys cooking authentic Indian dishes regularly, this handi can be an essential and reliable part of your kitchen routine.
Q4. Does the handi come with a lid, and what is it made of?
Ans: Yes, every Harishyam Arts copper handi comes with a matching lid that helps retain heat, flavor, and moisture during the cooking process. The lid is also made from pure copper and is crafted to fit snugly over the handi. This allows for better slow-cooking and reduces nutrient loss, making your meals healthier and more flavorful.
Q5. Is this copper cookware pot with lid safe for storing food overnight?
Ans: It is not recommended to store food overnight in copper cookware, even with a tin lining. The lining may wear over time, and prolonged contact with food, especially acidic items, can lead to a reaction. It’s best to transfer food to a storage-safe container after cooking. The handi is primarily designed for cooking and serving, not long-term food storage.
Q6. Do you ship this handcrafted copper cooking pot internationally?
Ans: Yes, we offer reliable worldwide shipping for all our products, including this handcrafted copper cooking pot with lid and tinned interior. Whether you're located in the USA, UK, Canada, Dubai, Australia, Mauritius, or Singapore, we ensure secure packaging and prompt delivery. Our copper cookware is safely wrapped to prevent damage, so it reaches you in perfect condition no matter where you are.
To keep your Harishyam Arts Pure Copper Handi with Lid and Tin Lining Inside performing at its best and looking beautiful, proper care is essential. Copper cookware, especially with a tin lining, requires gentle handling to preserve its durability and cooking efficiency.
After cooking, allow the handi to cool down before cleaning. Sudden temperature changes can cause warping or damage to the tin lining. When washing, use warm water with a mild detergent and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers, as these can scratch the tin coating and copper surface, shortening the cookware’s lifespan.
The tin lining inside the handi protects your food from direct contact with copper, but it can wear over time if not handled carefully. Avoid using metal utensils, which might scratch or chip the tin layer. Instead, opt for wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to maintain the integrity of the interior lining.
Over time, the copper exterior may develop a natural patina or tarnish due to oxidation. This does not affect the performance but can be polished using a copper cleaner or natural remedies such as lemon juice and salt for those who prefer a shiny finish. Always dry the handi thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots or corrosion.
Store your handi in a dry place, preferably hanging or on a shelf where it won’t be scratched or dented by other cookware. The lid should also be stored carefully to maintain its shape and fit.
With these simple care tips, your traditional copper degchi with inner tin coating and cover will continue to provide excellent cooking results, combining the best of tradition, health, and beauty for years to come. Harishyam Arts cookware is crafted to be cherished—treat it with care, and it will reward you with authentic flavors and lasting performance
