Seasoned Kal Chatti – Traditional Stone Cookware for Wholesome, Nutrient-Rich Cooking

Cook the Ayurvedic Way with Herbolaya’s Handcrafted Stone Pot

Bring home the timeless essence of traditional Indian kitchens with Herbolaya’s Seasoned Kal Chatti—a handmade stone cookware designed to preserve nutrients, enhance flavor, and promote healthy cooking. This cookware is fully seasoned using traditional methods and ready for immediate use, ideal for conscious cooks who value natural materials over chemically coated modern utensils.

Crafted from naturally sourced soapstone, Kal Chatti is known for its durability, even heat distribution, and ability to retain antioxidants, making it a perfect addition to your wellness kitchen.

Key Benefits of Seasoned Kal Chatti

1. Even Heat Retention
Kal Chatti absorbs and distributes heat gradually, ensuring food cooks slowly and evenly. This prevents burning and retains the natural antioxidants and micronutrients often destroyed by high-heat metal cookware.

2. Long-Lasting Warmth
Once removed from the flame, Kal Chatti retains heat for hours. This minimizes the need for reheating, preserving both the taste and nutrient profile of your food—naturally extending shelf life without refrigeration.

3. Enhances Traditional Recipes
Perfect for preparing Sambar, Rasam, Kulambu, vegetable curries, and porridges, Kal Chatti enhances the flavors with an earthy touch that stainless steel or non-stick pans cannot replicate.

4. Non-Toxic and Eco-Friendly
Unlike synthetic or Teflon cookware, Kal Chatti is 100% natural, chemical-free, and sustainable, supporting both your health and the environment.

How to Use Kal Chatti – Traditional Wisdom for Modern Homes

• Stove Compatibility: Safe for use on gas burners and microwave ovens.

• Heat Management: Begin cooking on medium flame, then reduce to low once heated to ensure even, slow cooking.

• Avoid Sudden Temperature Shifts: Do not expose the hot pot to cold water immediately.

Easy Maintenance – Already Fully Seasoned

Herbolaya’s Kal Chatti is traditionally seasoned using castor oil and turmeric for safe, natural usage from day one.

• Wash only with hot water (avoid using detergents)

• Wipe dry immediately after washing
