Traditional brass vs ordinary steel / non-stick
Why brass matters
Brass — peetal — has been the quiet workhorse of Indian kitchens. It heats evenly, responds quickly, and does not leach synthetic compounds into your food the way coated cookware can.
Ordinary steel / non-stick
TAMRA brass
Uneven hot spots that scorch food
Even heat distribution across the base
Chemical non-stick coatings can wear off
No synthetic coating — safe for daily cooking
Short lifespan once coating fails
Durable metal that can be re-tinned and reused
Industrial, mass-produced
Shaped by heritage metalworking families
Food can react with poor-quality metal
Traditional alloy trusted for Indian cooking
