Product Description

This vintage copper deg (cooking vessel/handi) features a wide-bellied hand-hammered body paired with a fitted solid brass lid. Inside, the vessel retains a traditional tin lining (kalai), rendering it suitable for authentic cooking and serving. Historically, copper degs and handis were prized in royal and regional Indian kitchens for slow-cooking (dum) aromatic rice, curries, and rich gravies, allowing flavors to meld evenly under low heat.

Benefits of copper and brass metalware include exceptional thermal conductivity for fast, even heat distribution, along with natural antimicrobial properties. Today, this 1-liter, 1.044 kg piece brings a warm, two-tone metallic contrast to modern tables. Use it to serve hot curries and biryani, style it as a rustic kitchen display on open shelving, or feature it as a heritage centerpiece for special dining occasions.
