Tin lining stated

Where a vessel is lined, we say so

Brass pots and pans for the stove. Kadhai, patila, saucepans, tope and handi. Brass conducts heat quickly and holds it, which is why these shapes have survived in an Indian kitchen alongside steel.

The important line on each page is the lining. A brass cooking vessel is given a coat of tin, called kalai, laid over the inside by hand, and food is cooked on the tin rather than on the brass. It wears through after twelve to fifteen months of regular cooking and is redone by a local kalaiwala, usually the same day. Where a vessel is lined the page says so; where it is bare brass the page says that instead.
