## Description

Zishta Cast Iron Kadai - Large | Ideal for Deep Frying & Cooking | Pre Seasoned | Naturally Nonstick, Toxin-Free | Diameter : desertcart.in: Home & Kitchen

Review: A beast among kadais! - This is a real solid block of a kadhai, even the smallest size weighs like a ton. For people wanting to cook in solid iron vessels, this product is a gem of a find. I ordered the kadai combo and am seriously impressed with the sturdy build of these kadhais. For people used to cooking on non-stick / other metallic kadhais: this comes with a textured surface, and will take some seasoning / nurturing to get used to. Maintaining this is also important, a simple wash would leave the surface coated in rust unless you remember to season it and store, and use it again before the oil starts to turn rancid. However the experience you get from cooking stuff in this would be unparalleled - there are master chefs who swear by cast iron vessels. It is a great find here, and you will be paying just a third of what you'd pay for a Lodge product. And in the bargain, you support a dwindling rural livelihood as well. Would request Zishta if they can find some flat bottomed pans / skillets as well for searing - I would happily spend on it rather than going for the expensive Lodge ones.
Review: Nice good paches - Good
