The Story

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

Bring your brass and copper cookware back to life with P•TAL’s Kalai Kit—a complete, easy-to-use home solution for restoring traditional utensils through tin coating. Kalai, a timeless practice, keeps cooking surfaces safe, non-reactive, and enhances the taste of food. Once a fading art, this technique now returns in a DIY-friendly kit that preserves your heritage pieces and makes them safe for daily use again. Rediscover tradition. Restore with confidence.

What’s Included

Certified Tin, also known as Ranga
Ammonium chloride, which is also called Naushadar salt.
Heat resistant cotton
Pitambari cleaning powder
Holder or Pakad to hold the utensils
An instruction manual explaining the complete process of doing the kalai.

Details

Thoroughly wash the utensil inside out and wipe it dry.
Put it on the stove and give it enough time to heat to the brim. You can check if it's heated to the brim by touching the tin on the brim and seeing if it's melting.
Once the utensil has been thoroughly heated, add the powdered ammonium chloride in the heated utensil. The fumes will immediately begin to rise. Touch the surface of the tin stick on the utensil and rub it using a heat-resistant cloth.
Once you see that it's done evenly, put it under cold running water or inside a tub of cold water; this will lock the kalai on the surface.
In case you notice that some part of the surface is left to be tinned, repeat the process, keeping that area primarily on the heat
