Why Choose a Ceramic Kadai for Everyday Cooking?
When you pick a kadai for cooking, you expect it to hold room for the art of cooking- the tossing, stirring, simmering without you having to wrestle your cookware.
Asai’s deep, wide Non Stick Kadai design is made for everything from tadka-heavy dals and bhindi to curries, paneer and frying. The Procera ceramic coated kadai provides a naturally non-stick surface, while the even-heating base helps reduce hot spots. Its lightweight body allows you to toss and turn the ingredients with ease, so no worries about accidental burns or spills.
Choose Your Ceramic Kadai by Size & Capacity
Choosing the right kadai size depends on your household, portion sizes and the dishes you prepare most often. Asai offers ceramic kadai options in 2.5-litre and 3.5-litre capacities.
| Feature | 2.5-Litre Ceramic Kadai | 3.5-Litre Ceramic Kadai |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 2.5 litres | 3.5 litres |
| Best suited for | Everyday family meals | Larger portions and batch cooking |
| Cooking uses | Sabzi, dal, curries and sautéing | Larger batches of curries, gravies and vegetables |
Choose the 2.5L option if you generally prepare smaller quantities for everyday meals. The 3.5L option provides additional space when cooking larger portions or preparing food for guests.
Ceramic Coating Kadai for Gas, Induction & Electric Cooktops
With modern homes and lifestyles, cooking has gone through an evolution as well. It is no longer restricted to heavy pots and pans simmering gravies for hours on a traditional burner. Asai’s ceramic kadai with lid works across gas, induction and electric cooktops, making it a perfect fit for modern Indian kitchens.
The deep shape of the ceramic kadhai for cooking is particularly useful for dishes that need space to simmer, stir or fry, while the included glass lid helps retain moisture and lets you keep an eye on your food as it cooks.
