Experience Traditional Cooking, the Natural Way

Rediscover the essence of age-old Indian cooking with Herbolaya’s Seasoned Stone Kadaai – 2.5 Liters, crafted from naturally sourced soapstone. This handcrafted kadaai is a must-have for health-conscious kitchens that value taste, tradition, and sustainability. With exceptional heat retention, this kadaai ensures your food stays warm longer while preserving nutrients and authentic flavors.

Why Choose a Stone Kadaai?

1. Superior Heat Retention & Even Cooking
Soapstone is known for its excellent thermal properties, ensuring that your food cooks evenly without burning or overcooking. It’s ideal for slow-cooked recipes like gravies, sambars, biryanis, curries, and stir-fries.

2. Naturally Non-Toxic & Chemical-Free
Unlike modern non-stick cookware that may contain harmful coatings, our seasoned stone kadaai is 100% natural, free from PFOA, Teflon, or synthetic chemicals.

3. Pre-Seasoned and Ready to Use
Our kadaai is traditionally seasoned using castor oil and rice starch, making it naturally non-stick and ready for immediate use.

4. Crafted by Skilled Artisans
Each kadaai is hand-carved by experienced artisans from South India using ethically sourced soapstone. The craftsmanship ensures not just utility but heritage in every piece.
