A ceramic kadai gives you the deep, high-sided cooking you already love — sabzi, curries, frying, tadka — without the worn-out coatings older non-stick pans rely on. Asai's ceramic kadai is coated with Procera ceramic, needs far less oil, and is tested free from PFAS, PTFE and PFOA. It's the everyday kadai you can cook in without a second thought.
Why Choose a Ceramic Kadai for Cooking?
Because it does daily Indian cooking without the trade-offs. Food releases cleanly, so you cook with less oil and clean up in seconds — and since the Procera ceramic surface has no PFAS, PTFE or PFOA, nothing questionable ends up in your tadka. The high sides give you room to toss sabzi, build a gravy or deep-fry without splatter going everywhere, and the heat spreads evenly so nothing catches in one hot spot. It's lighter than cast iron, kinder than bare steel, and ready the moment you are.

For most kitchens preparing sabzi, curries, and tadka every day, a Non Stick Kadai with a ceramic coating is a practical low-oil cooking option. It offers naturally non-stick performance while being free from PFAS, PTFE, and PFOA, making everyday cooking easier and more convenient.
How to Care for Your Ceramic Kadai
Taking proper care of your ceramic cookware helps maintain its non-stick performance and extends its lifespan.
- Let it cool before washing — cold water on a hot pan stresses any coating.
- Hand wash with a soft sponge and mild dish soap; skip steel wool and harsh scrubbers.
- Use wooden, silicone or nylon tools to keep the surface smooth.
- Cook on low-to-medium heat — ceramic doesn't need a high flame to perform, and gentler heat keeps it doing its job for longer.
- Dry it before storing. That's it — no seasoning, no fuss.

FAQ
Q: Does food stick in a ceramic kadai?
A: Not when it's used right. The Procera ceramic surface releases food cleanly, so sabzi, fried snacks and even eggs slide off with very little oil. Stick to low-to-medium heat and wooden or silicone tools, and it stays slick for years.
Q: Is a ceramic kadai good for everyday cooking?
A: Yes — it's built for it. From morning tadka to evening curries, a ceramic kadai handles daily Indian cooking with less oil and easy cleanup. Asai's is tested for everyday use and free from PFAS, PTFE and PFOA.
Q: Does a ceramic kadai require less oil?
A: It does. Because food doesn't grip the surface, a light coat of oil is usually enough — often a teaspoon where you'd normally pour a tablespoon. Lighter meals, without giving up taste or texture.
Q: Is a ceramic coated kadai safe for cooking?
A: A good one is. Asai's coating is Procera ceramic, free from PFAS, PTFE and PFOA, and tested across 50+ checks with a Health Report for every piece. You can read the full evidence on our Asai Lab page.
Q: Can a ceramic kadai be used on gas and induction cooktops?
A: Yes. Asai’s induction kadai is compatible with gas, induction, and electric cooktops, making it a versatile choice for any kitchen. For the best cooking results on induction, use low-to-medium heat settings to ensure even heat distribution and consistent performance.
