Cast Iron Kadai 8.5 inch, 2 Litre – Pre-Seasoned Kadhai / Wok

A deep 8.5 inch cast iron kadai that holds 2 litres, with two sturdy handles. Cast iron keeps oil at a steady temperature for crisp frying and simmers gravies gently without hot spots. Also known as a kadhai, karahi, cheena chatti, baandli or korai.

Why cooks choose it

• Pre-seasoned with organic sesame oil – rinse, wipe dry, oil lightly and start cooking.
• 100% natural cast iron – no chemical non-stick coating to scratch, chip or peel.
• Steady frying heat – the thick walls stop the oil temperature crashing when you add food.
• Lifetime warranty – made in India by AVM, kitchenware makers since 1969. Saffronware is AVM's cast iron brand.

How do I look after it? Wash with water and a soft scrub, dry it on a low flame and wipe on a few drops of oil. Avoid the dishwasher and soaking. The full care guide is below.
