[@albyantony1853]

I so love to hear when someone who's an authority on the subject speaks. Thanks a ton for clearing a very important subject for us.. have taken lots of notes 😀

[@vknidhi]

Some concept clarifications: 1. When you coat brass with tin, tin prevents contact of food material with the copper base (brass). Therefore the acclaimed benefits of cooking in copper vessels are eliminated. 2. Tin is generally contaminated with lead. Commercially used tin for the vessel coating is liberally contaminated with lead and therefore not preferable. It is to be remembered that lead is a cumulative poison. 3. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. Tin passivates the surface of the vessel. Therefore, it prevents (though not completely) attack of food acids on base metal. 4. For these reasons between brass and bronze, bronze is preferred for cooking. 5. These alloys were used in cooking, before aluminium came into commercial use in mid 20th century. Cast iron, earthen pots and brass and bronze faded into oblivion with the advent of aluminium. 6. Scientific reports till date have conflicting opinions on ill effect (if any) of aluminium. 7. Retention of heat in bronze vessel after cooking is also a myth. After the heat source is removed from the vessel, retention of heat depends on: i. Total mas of hot material - Bronze being a casting, is generally heavier and hence the apparent retention. ii. The ambient temperature ( if ambient is cool, vessel cools faster). iii. Surface area & surface condition of vessel outside. 8. Tin was not used as a vessel in the past for making "rasam" as you wrongly mentioned. They used lead pots for this purpose. Once, the world knew of the toxicity of lead , this practice came to a halt.

Great video and excellent explanations. Especially how you explain that the alloy bronze helps to get the benefits of copper without excess leaching of copper. And how tinning can help to prevent excess cooper leeching when cooking acidic foods. Also, copper is a trace mineral needed by the body in small amounts as well. The bronze cookware is similar to cooking in cast iron. All about what is being cooked in there, acidic or not.

Thanks for the video Madam. Couple of questions, please clarify. 1) Brass is known to retain 97% of the nutrients. If we apply tin coating, same principle applicable? 2) Why cant we apply tin coating on Iron Or aluminium kadai? As it is much cheaper than bronze. We r hiding bronze with tin coating anyway. 3) Does Tin leach in to the food? If so, is it okay for the bodyy? 4) If we coat with Tin, can we use sharp spatulas? Would it break the Tin coating? Should we be careful? Thank you!

[@oreogiri]

Thank you for the I formative video. All the information that you gave are available on the internet also. In the 60s and 70s in Bangalore the households used only brass, bronze and aluminum to cook. Plus earthen pots for selective dishes like mudde or ganji etc. Aside of the benefits listed by you or on the internet, I think these were used because nothing else was available. Steel came a little later and took over because of ease of maintenance, plus it avoided the leaching, the need to cook separate dishes in different vessels and ease of usage. Brass vessels used to be tinned annually. Not once in 2 to 5 years. Perhaps that could be because their usage was high. Specialist tinning people used come around and would do the tinning, which often would be an all day affair. As children we used to be fascinated and and would wait until the days work finished and embers cooled to collect what we called lead balls. At present that door step tinning does not exist. One has to find shops which may do winning. I think it is still done in "Hittale matket" ( literally meaning brass market)" off chikpet. I don't know if it is done on avenue road. Getting brass vessels tinned is the big hurdle in using them for cooking. And in cleaning it is necessary to clean them often with tamarind paste or vinegar, otherwise over time brass would tarnish and ugly green deposits would appear. In the market there are ready cleaning powders available for cleaning brass items. I don't recollect about bronze particularly, to write here. BTW, using aluminum is not entirely harmful. Leaching of Al into food is the issue here too and like brass or bronze it cannot be tinned. In Al vessels too it leaches when acidic foods are cooked. And aluminum is present in processed and unprocessed food naturally anyway. It becomes harmful when aluminum is absorbed beyond 5 to 10 mg per kg of body weight per day. Leaching of aluminum into food would of course lead to higher absorption and therefore we need to avoid cooking sour / acidic foods in aluminum vessels. Other things can be cooked safely. Rice was almost always cooked in aluminum pots, later in Al cookers. Milk was always boiled in alpots. We as children carried food - even rice and sambar - in aluminum boxes. Serving or eating in aluminum utensils is not harmful. I again thank you for this post. And like you say all the information is available at finger tips these days if only we browse for a short while.

Hello everyone- I would like to share my experience on cooking in bronze and brass vessel. I used to make rice in. The bronze vessel. Heavy thick bronze pot. Onky plain rice and water were boiled. For almost 2 years i didn’t realize that the mild burning sensation in my whole alimentary canal was due to this. I went out of town for one week and didn’t have this problem. Same thing happened again recently when I got lazy to use the heavy bronze potand used stainless steel vessel for rice since 4/5 days and again the burning sensation cooled off. Now I wonder if something is leaching from it. I hand wash every day. It’s a sturdy thick heavy pot made 100 years back from my mother in laws grandmothers family. But didn’t suit me it benefit me. I used brass coffee filter but didn’t like the taste.. so stopped it

Super informative stuff. Thank you. I have 2 questions. 1- Can we EAT curd or curd based food in bronze and brass thali, katori. 2- Can we cook curd based foods in bronze or brass. What is actually mean that is Curd (yogurt) a citrus product?

[@Zishta]

Hi, 1. Yes you can have citric food in Bronze plates. That is not an issue. 2. Cooking citric food will react with Bronze. If thick curd would be cooked for a longer duration eg, more than 10 minutes, then it is better to avoid it. Adding curd towards fag end of cooking is fine. Transfer the food to another vessel within an hour of cooking, if any citric element has been added to the dish.

Hello..please give a clarity on how long to store different recipes in brass or bronze

In South India Rasam is made in a vessel and once it is made it is poured in the " eeyachombu" which you are calling as Tin vessel. It is not made with only tin. It is made with mixer of many metals one of them is silver. That is why it is extremely expensive. If it is directly kept on the gas and if the water content evaporates then it melts and you get many silver pieces around the gas with the pot and rasam missing.

Thanks for this video, I like your Zishta's products.

[@Zishta]

We appreciate your interest and support towards Zishta! Thank you for your question! We do not recommend cooking in brass vessels without tin coating. While you may see brass vessels being used in chai tapris, the concern is that cooking without tin coating can lead to higher copper leaching into the food. Although copper is essential for our body, excessive amounts are not necessary and can cause discomfort. For safety, we advise using brass vessels with tin coating for cooking. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! Thank you

[@Zishta]

Greetings from Zishta, Thank you for your kind words! Your question is indeed very interesting and one that sparks a lot of debate. When we prepare food in any vessel, there is a sort of leaching that occurs into the food depending on the material used. Some materials are neutral and do not affect the food cooked inside. In traditional vessels, leaching is present, but the elements are generally beneficial. It's important to note that health is influenced by a variety of factors including lifestyle, genetics, the overall diet, and even how the vessels are maintained. Your in-laws' excellent health could be attributed to a combination of these factors. While certain materials may have potential health impacts, the overall picture of health and wellbeing is complex and influenced by many variables. Thank you Team Zishta

I use one tomato in every curry , is small amount citrus with other ingredients is ok to cook in bronze utensil, still not safer. Please answer this question.

[@Zishta]

Thanks for your enquiry. The Bronze is an alloy of Copper and Tin. When we prepare anything acidic in a Bronze vessel without tin-coating, the leaching of Copper into the food would be more. Copper is an element our body needs in trace quantity. Anything in excess is not required for the body and may result in slight discomforts. Hence we recommend to choose the bronze cookware with tin-coating if we're planning to cook anything citric in it. Based on our experience, in the heirloom bronze utensils, we can prepare citric food (even without tin-coating) as the leaching has come down to bare minimum due to the usage over many years.

In the cooking process, using citric elements on food, any metal will leach in excess. Many a times this leaching would be more than what our body needs on a daily basis. Hence it is better to avoid cooking citric food in metals without kalai. If there is no choice, cook once in a while, but not frequently, and yes, immediately transfer to another vessel. Hope this help.

@zishta inc : is it OK to use bronze kadai for deep frying? Please advise

[@Zishta]

Yes you can. However, the most nutritious and best suitable vessel for frying is cast iron kadai Visit for more details: www.zishta.com 🤗Subscribe to Zishta KZbin Channel & Learn the Traditional Wisdom about Handcrafted Cookware & Lifestyle Products - kzbin.info/door/PmAZxTFJGjZ1Pkhv8Dke7Q

[@sadzeej9186]

Nowadays getting tinning(kalai) i done is very difficult. So one can't use these vessels. However , can one cook in them and after finishing cooking, transfer into your steel dish.

[@Zishta]

HI, Thanking you for your enquiry, we are doing kalai at our end in our bangalore store as of now.You may use bronze vessels without tin coating to cook, if and only when you cook citrus based food you will have to shift it to a different vessel. Brass requires tin coating for making it viable for cooking.Hope this helps.Thank you

Can we cook in bronze and store in the same vessel? Can we use it like a cook and serve vessel?

Hi, you may store in the same vessel for 4 to 5 hours. Thanks

Hi Mam, I was asking my uncle on using Kansa in cooking and he said that it breaks when used for cooking. Is it true that Kansa should not be used for cooking, is bronze with tinning a better option than kansa for cooking?

[@Zishta]

Hi, Bronze is the English name and kansa is the Hindi name for the same metal. But, in east, west and north India, Bronze vessels also known as Kansa is made using a Copper: Tin ratio of 78:22. Hence it cannot be used for cooking as it cracks. The Bronze or kansa or vengalam made in South has a much higher copper ratio and hence is traditionally used for cooking. Also, the method used in South India is casting. Hence the difference in ratio and the way of making makes it viable for cooking for the Southern made Bronze. Hope this helps. Thank you.

They can be used as the bronze plates have 22% tin which will prevent any adverse reaction.

Hi zishta… pls add the bronze dosa tawa to ur items .. also please advise if it’s safe

[@Zishta]

Hi Varsha - we will surely explore the same. If made with good quality bronze, they will be safe. Someone we firmly believe nothing works better than iron or cast iron for dosa tawa. Otherwise our ancestors would have long made them in bronze and used it extensively as well.

[@bhavanithakur9428]

Please also educate consumers about how to clean brass bronze and other iteams you sell in a right way.i m very confused whether to buy these things or no coz they are very difficult to wash on daily basis

[@Zishta]

On a daily basis, cleaning is normal.like every other vessel in our house. When shine goes away, to bring shine back, use tamarind or lemon.

[@utkarshgarg2791]

If i want bronze cooking utensils on daily basis, then is there any precaution? As you said it cannot use on daily basis otherwise more copper will go in body and cause others health problems??

[@Zishta]

we generally recommend you to mix and match traditional vessels in your cooking so that we get all the benefits. We have a recent tulsi range which you can buy and can cook anything and everything in that as they are casted to the traditional ratios. Do check here: zishta.com/ Precautions - make sure you do not store food after cooking beyond 3-4 hours. More acidic food you cook, shorter the duration of storage to prevent excessive leaching. Hope this helps.

kalai or Tin would harm our health? Would apreciate your comments on it... Thanks!

[@kjs5796]

Could you please differentiate between bronze and bell metal (mostly used in Kerala and in which we can cook acidic base food like tomatoes and yogurt base food without kalai)

[@Zishta]

bell metal are variations of bronze and has varying % of tin. Higher the % of tin helps in allowing food items like tomatoes, yogurt base to be used in the cooking process. The kerala style of making is actually called vellodu and they are pretty versatile for Kerala style cooking. Hope this helps.

Thank you for reaching out! We are currently waiting for new stock of bronze utensils, including kadais, which will be updated on our website soon. Both brass and bronze are excellent metals for cooking. The choice between them often depends on personal preferences, such as ease of tin-coating service, weight of the utensils and the purpose. We'll keep you posted once the bronze utensils are available for order. 😊 Thank you
