Zishta Handmade Natural Soapstone Kalchatti Cookware | Gas and Electric Coil Stove Compatible | Deep Cooking Pot Untreated- Small (Dia: 11.4-13.9cm, H: 6.9-7.6cm, Cap: 0.8-1.2L, 2 Kg)

The chatti is well made and looks strong. I seasoned it :1. By applying a paste of turmeric powder and salt in it and keeping it out in the sun for five days.2. Then from the sixth day by filling it with water drained after washing rice for seven days3. After this I filled hot kanji water ( water after draining steamed rice made in an open vessel) for three days.4. Then I cooked some sambar in it yesterday night. It turned out yummy.But the aroma would not leave the vessel even after washing with hot water. I guess I need to season it once before using it again.5. Remember to always fill the vessel with liquid before putting it on the lighted stove. Keep the flame medium to low.6. It is a pleasure to cook in this pot and the food feels so real and delicious. It is worth the effort which does not feel like one if you make time and get involved in the process. Then it feels therapeutic.

In spite of seasoning even for duration more than recommended, the vessel developed cracks on being subjected to low flame heat for the first time after 34 days of seasoning.Not at all worth

tasty for cooking food in kal chatty, but bad quality and price is more

I bought this kal chatti and seasoned it by keeping kanji water for 10 days nd then applied coconut oil and kept under the sun for 2 days. After that cooked keerai mulagoottal and rasam.It's yummy . U can make out that its seasoned when it wont absorb any more oil Its imp it shouldl b cooked in low flame only

Absolutely amazing product. Its become a kitchen essential for me.The initial preparing of the kal chatti is a bit tedious. Had to cover it with rice water and change it every day for 10 days. Then next 5 days i rubbed cooking oil on the inside and left it in the sun.I prepared dal. Mixed vegetables and masala potatoes. All of my dishes had an earthy flavour and it was delicious.

The finishing isnt good. No proper instruction manual about seasoning before use. On my first use it broke a little. Totally poor finishing.

Super cool product

Good but small it's Damage n broken i want to return
