Utsava 2.75-Quart Tri-Ply Clad Stainless Steel Kadai with Lid | Kadhai Pot for Indian Cooking

My hunt is over for the perfect induction capable ramen pot! I’ve always loved this brand. Their pots and pans are high quality but very reasonably priced. I have a few and I daresay they are comparable to my All-clad. This pot is no different. Both the pot and lid has a sturdy weight to it. I immediately bought a second as soon as I opened the package so I can enjoy for 2. My requirements for the ramen pot is as follows: shaped like a bowl, IH capable, at least 1.5 quarts but no more than 2 quarts. The handles have to be to the sides so as not to tip the bowl as would a conventional 1.5 sauce pan that has a long protruding handle and has a lid. This is the 1st pot that I came across that has met all my criteria. As it’s marketed as a Kadhai pot it was extremely hard to find. When doing a ramen pot search, all I could find were the gold aluminum ones, so no IH cooking. That this pot is Tri-ply makes it very versatile and is a huge bonus. You might be asking why a pot and not a bowl? It saves so much time on clean up and cooking is super fast using IH technology. I can get a piping hot bowl of ramen loaded with a bunch of nummy toppings on the table in less than 10 minutes which is a game changer on week days. The soup stays hot longer because I'm not pouring hot soup into a cool bowl. This pot is perfect for the aforementioned reasons. Having this lid helps me cook an egg to soft boil. I love that the lid is recessed and is not glass as some glass lids attract moisture in the metal rim.

This is a great pan! I love Indian food and have been looking for a kadai since I've been experimenting with some Indian recipes. I've always liked using stainless steel cookware since it's non-reactive and cleans up well. I made 2 Indian dishes in this pan and was very pleased with how everything turned out. The heat distribution was great. The handles became a little warm, but I always use oven mitts anyway, so it doesn't matter. I debated about which size to buy since it's only my husband and I, but decided on the 4L since it will allow me to make larger batches of food, and I can freeze any leftovers for later. It's the perfect size. Not only does this kadai cook well, but it also looks beautiful on my stovetop. If you're looking for a kadai, I highly recommend this one. I haven't tried any other recipes in this, but I'm sure it can be used for soups as well. It's one of the best cookware purchases I've made. You won't be disappointed.

Best wok I have ever owned! The overall thickness ensures the food doesn't burn. The handle does get hot so have to use mittens. It is perfect for meal-prepping or large family meals. Makes cooking rice, stews, curries a breeze. Fit is perfect. It is stainless steel so not non-stick, but if you let it heat, then add a later of oil, food will not stick. It is easy to clean with a scrub daddy sponge.

I know it’s originally meant for Indian dishes, but this is the perfect size for a 1~3 person shabu shabu / hot pot, especially for cooking at the table. The rolled edges (lip) help prevent spillage when ladling soup out of the pot. Light and sturdy, quality construction. It would also be useful for: - 1-2 person stir fry - 1-2 person “pot rice” - fits 2 instant noodle packets comfortably Overall, I would recommend as a multipurpose pot for anyone.

Good quality

Perfect size for 1-2 people. Both the kadai and lid are heavy. For someone used to Indian cooking, I would say the handles stay cool enough to quickly move the kadai if needed, unless cooked for a long time on high heat.

I wanted a pan made in the US. From the information I researched, Tramontina makes their products in the US, or at least NOT IN CHINA. When this pan arrived, it is the perfect size and shape that I wanted, but guess where it is made...effing CHINA. SO VERY DISAPPOINTED AND ANGRY.

Well made product. It comes handy for large family meals.

An absolute workhorse in the kitchen. The tri-ply clad construction provides incredibly even heat distribution with no hot spots. It has a beautiful, heavy-duty feel, looks brilliant, and cleans up effortlessly. Worth every penny. Must for every household.

Really Happy with the purchase. It's a perfect Kadhai for 3-5 portions. It says 4 quarts, but marked upto 3 quart and 3 liters inside the kadhai. Beautiful looking riveted handles and Build quality. Perfect for Indian cooking. Just love it.

doesn't stick, heats well, and easy to clean, attractive. ty

got the 2.75qrt one. very sturdy and quality pot for stir fry. meat and egg get stick but with a bit of water they easily come off. the pot though is a bit shallow, would prefer it deeper for easy stir frying. I didn't know the upper and bottom diameter of the pot. I highly suggest the seller post the info, including depth for all its products. I find it a bit small for stir frying. but the pot is nice and solid. will think of buying a large size in the future. One year later Used it a year so far, stir frying or soup making, I started to notice tiny cracks at the bottom that are possibly revealing the underlying layer. If it's true, the quality of this pot is not good.

Really good quality kadai. Have been using it for a while and it's sturdy and perfect size for a small family.
