Seasoned Kal Chatti – 1 Liter | Handcrafted Natural Stone Cookware for Healthy Traditional Cooking

Bring back the soul of slow cooking with Herbolaya’s Seasoned Kal Chatti (Soapstone Cookware) – a classic kitchen essential passed down through generations. Meticulously hand-carved by rural artisans, this 1-liter Kal Chatti is pre-seasoned using traditional methods, making it ready to use for your everyday cooking—from aromatic gravies to rich curries.

Why Kal Chatti? A Natural Choice for Wholesome Cooking

Crafted from naturally sourced soapstone, Kal Chatti is non-toxic, chemical-free, and completely eco-friendly. Unlike modern non-stick or metal cookware, it preserves the natural flavor and nutrients of your food without any leaching or surface degradation.

Key Benefits of Seasoned Kal Chatti

1. Retains Heat Longer

Soapstone holds heat far longer than metal or ceramic cookware. Even after the flame is turned off, the pot continues to simmer gently—perfect for slow-cooked dishes like sambar, rasam, and stews.

2. Preserves Nutrients and Antioxidants

The gentle and even heat distribution helps preserve the antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that are often destroyed in high-temperature metal cooking.

3. Energy-Efficient Cooking

Save on fuel and energy by switching off your stove early. The Kal Chatti continues to cook your food using its retained heat, ensuring efficient use of resources without compromising taste or texture.

4. Naturally Non-Stick and Easy to Clean

Thanks to its smooth, non-reactive surface, food doesn’t stick. A simple rinse with warm water and a soft sponge is all you need. Avoid harsh soaps or abrasive scrubbers to maintain its longevity.

5. Keeps Food Fresh Without Refrigeration

Soapstone’s porous structure allows natural air cooling, helping your food stay fresh for hours without the need for a refrigerator—especially useful in mild to moderate climates.
