Traditional Cookware: A Timeless Legacy for Every Indian Kitchen
Share
In Indian kitchens, traditional cookware holds a special place. Whether it’s brass cookware passed down from generations or newly handcrafted bronze pots, these utensils embody heritage and utility. At Authentic Hub, we celebrate this legacy by offering a range of beautifully handcrafted cookware made from materials like brass, bronze, iron, copper, stone, wood, and steel.
Traditional cookware is not just about cooking; it is about preserving the rich history of Indian cuisine and the techniques honed over centuries. Let's explore these cookware types and their importance in Indian kitchens.
The Rich History of Traditional Cookware
Indian cooking has always been deeply connected to the type of cookware used. The materials like brass, bronze, copper, iron, and stone were not only chosen for their durability but also for their health benefits. For example, cooking in brass cookware or bronze utensils is known to boost immunity and improve digestion. Stoneware, on the other hand, is ideal for slow cooking, which preserves the flavors and nutrients in food.
In ancient times, these utensils were often handcrafted by skilled artisans who knew the right balance of materials to create cookware that would last for generations. Even today, the process of making traditional cookware is intricate, with attention to detail in every curve and handle. At Authentic Hub, we continue to uphold these traditions by offering handmade and handcrafted cookware that reflects India’s cultural richness.
Types of Traditional Cookware at Authentic Hub
-
Brass Cookware: Known for its ability to retain heat, brass cookware is perfect for making slow-cooked dishes like biryanis or stews. The even heat distribution ensures that food is cooked thoroughly and stays warm longer.
-
Bronze Cookware: Bronze cookware is highly durable and resistant to corrosion. It is traditionally used for making dishes like sambar and dal, and its ability to hold heat makes it excellent for deep frying as well.
-
Cast Iron Cookware: No traditional kitchen is complete without cast iron cookware. From iron tawa for making soft, fluffy rotis to cast iron pans for stir-frying, these items are versatile and last for years with proper care.
-
Copper Utensils: Copper utensils are known for their excellent heat conductivity, ensuring food cooks faster and more evenly. In the olden days, copper pots were a staple in Indian kitchens, especially for making sweets and curries.
-
Stoneware: Handcrafted stoneware like ammikallu and silbatta are still used in many Indian homes for grinding spices and making chutneys. Stone retains the flavors of the ingredients, making food taste more authentic.
-
Wooden Cookware: Wooden utensils like ladles and churners are essential for cooking delicate dishes without scratching the cookware. They also add a rustic charm to your kitchen.
-
Steelware: Stainless steel has become the modern substitute for traditional cookware due to its durability and ease of maintenance. At Authentic Hub, we offer high-quality steelware that retains the essence of traditional cooking while adapting to modern needs.
