Design and Build Quality

This 22cm casserole is made with tri-ply stainless steel, which consists of three layers of metal:

Inner Layer (Food-Grade Stainless Steel – 304 Grade):

The innermost surface that comes in contact with food is made of high-quality 304 stainless steel, ensuring that the food remains safe and does not react with the metal.
This layer prevents contamination and maintains the authentic flavor of the food.
It is non-toxic, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean.

Middle Layer (Aluminium Core):

A layer of aluminum is sandwiched between the two stainless steel layers.
This aluminum core helps in even heat distribution across the entire surface, preventing hotspots and uneven cooking.
It ensures that food cooks efficiently, reducing cooking time and saving fuel.

Outer Layer (430 Magnetic Stainless Steel):

The exterior is made from 430-grade stainless steel, which makes the casserole compatible with induction cooktops and gas stoves.
This layer adds durability and provides a sleek, polished look that enhances the aesthetic appeal of the cookware.

With a diameter of 22cm, it offers ample space for preparing curries, stews, gravies, and one-pot meals.
