Traditional Brass Uruli / Wide Cooking Bowl with Tin Lining

The Traditional Brass Uruli / Wide Cooking Bowl with Tin Lining (traditionally known as a Pithalai Uruli or Degchi / Vattil with Kalai) is a heavy-duty heritage cooking and serving vessel designed for slow simmering, deep flavor retention, and even heat dispersion.

Core Specifications & Features

Heavy-Gauge Brass Construction: Crafted from high-density brass with excellent thermal conductivity, allowing liquids and gravies to cook evenly across the base without scorching or forming hotspots.

Food-Grade Tin Lining (Kalai / Velli): The interior and flared top rim are coated with pure, non-reactive tin. This protective layer shields food from the bare brass, making it safe for acidic and sour ingredients such as tamarind, tomato, yogurt, and citrus.

Wide Shallow Geometry: The broad, open mouth accelerates evaporation and moisture reduction, making it ideal for thick gravies, roasts, and reduction-based sweets.

Flared Collar Rim: Designed with a wide outward rim that provides a secure grip for lifting, moving, and pouring, even when the vessel is full.

Dual-Tone Finish: Features a brushed golden brass exterior paired with a reinforced, heat-treated dark base engineered to endure open gas flames without warping.

Culinary & Ritual Uses

Slow Simmering & Curries: Perfect for preparing sambar, kootu, rasam, dal, and traditional vegetable or meat curries.

Traditional Sweets: Ideal for festive desserts that require continuous stirring and moisture reduction, such as payasam, kheer, halwa, and pongal.

Authentic Serving Vessel: Excellent for festive buffet displays, heritage dining presentations, or ritual temple offerings (prasadam).
