The Indus Valley Triply Stainless Steel Kadai/Kadhai with Steel Lid | Large, 28cm KC-TP-KA-010

The Indus Valley Triply Stainless Steel Kadai/Kadhai with Steel Lid – 28cm (KC-TP-KA-010)

Cooking is an experience, and the quality of your cookware significantly influences both taste and convenience. The Indus Valley Triply Stainless Steel Kadai (28cm), a premium-grade kitchen essential, is designed to elevate your daily cooking with its unique construction, superior durability, and safety features. Made with a triply (three-layered) metal composition, this kadai/kadhai is engineered for efficient performance, healthier cooking, and long-lasting utility.

What is Triply Stainless Steel?

Triply stainless steel refers to a three-layer construction that blends the strengths of different metals for optimum cooking performance:

1. Inner Layer (Food-Grade Stainless Steel – SS304):
   The inner surface of the kadai is made of high-quality SS304 stainless steel, which is 100% food-safe, non-reactive, and resistant to rust. This ensures your food does not pick up any metallic taste or harmful chemicals, even with acidic ingredients like tomato, tamarind, or lemon.

2. Middle Layer (Aluminium Core):
   The core layer consists of heavy-gauge aluminum, which is known for its excellent heat conductivity. It helps distribute heat evenly across the surface and body of the kadai, eliminating hot spots that can burn food. The result is uniform cooking and enhanced energy efficiency.

3. Outer Layer (Magnetic Stainless Steel – SS430):
   The outermost layer is SS430 stainless steel, which is induction compatible and durable. This makes the kadai suitable for all types of cooktops—induction, gas stove, ceramic, and electric.

Key Features and Benefits

Large 28cm Diameter with Ample Capacity

The kadai’s size is ideal for large families or batch cooking. Whether you are preparing a rich curry, sautéed vegetables, deep-fried snacks, or a full meal for a gathering, this 28cm kadai offers sufficient space and depth (approx. 2.5 to 3 liters capacity) to cook without splashing or crowding the ingredients.

Steel Lid Included

The matching stainless steel lid helps trap steam, speeds up cooking, and retains nutrients and moisture. It’s especially useful for simmering gravies, slow cooking dals, or keeping food warm until serving.

Even Heat Distribution

The triple-layer construction ensures quick and uniform heating, which is crucial for precise cooking. Unlike regular steel utensils that develop hot spots, this kadai cooks your food evenly from all sides.

100% Toxin-Free & Non-Reactive

Unlike non-stick cookware that may contain chemicals like PFOA/PTFE, this kadai is completely toxin-free. The food-grade stainless steel interior ensures that even acidic or salty foods do not leach metals or react during cooking, preserving natural flavor and safety.

Versatile Cooking Compatibility

You can use this kadai on gas stoves, induction cooktops, halogen, ceramic, and hot plates. Whether you’re making pakoras on the gas or heating leftovers on induction, it’s a reliable multitasker.

Sturdy Double Riveted Handles

The stainless steel handles are firmly riveted and ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip. They stay relatively cool on stovetops and ensure safe handling even when the kadai is full.

Low-Maintenance & Easy to Clean

The kadai’s smooth stainless steel surface makes cleaning a breeze. It does not absorb oil or food particles and is dishwasher-safe. Even if food sticks slightly, soaking in warm water and using a soft scrubber brings it back to shine.

Why Choose Triply Kadai Over Regular Kadai?

Traditional aluminum or steel kadais either heat too fast (causing burning) or unevenly (leading to undercooked spots). Non-stick variants are delicate and may release toxins when overheated. In contrast, this triply kadai solves all these problems:

• Uniform heating from base to rim

• Durable construction with no chipping, flaking, or rusting

• Healthier cooking with no chemical coatings

• Compatible with all modern and traditional stovetops

Ideal Uses

This kadai is perfect for a wide range of Indian and global dishes:

• Frying puris, pakoras, samosas

• Preparing sabzis, dals, and curries

• Sauteing vegetables or spices

• Boiling and shallow-frying

• Stir-frying noodles or rice dishes

Its heavy-duty construction makes it great for everyday use as well as festive cooking that requires long simmering or deep frying.

Sustainability and Health Commitment

The Indus Valley brand is known for its commitment to natural, safe, and sustainable cookware. The Triply Stainless Steel Kadai is a reflection of this philosophy. Unlike coated or synthetic cookware, this kadai is recyclable, eco-friendly, and contributes to a chemical-free kitchen environment. You’re not just investing in a kitchen tool, but also in long-term wellness.

Care Tips

To get the most out of your Triply Kadai:

• Preheat it on low to medium flame to extend its life.

• Avoid using steel scrubbers—use soft sponges or nylon pads.

• For stubborn stains, soak in warm soapy water before cleaning.

• Do not overheat when empty—triply material heats quickly.
