Food is an integral part of Indian culture. It is even an essential aspect of everyday Indian conversations. For Indian communities, the taste, aroma, texture, color, and appearance of food is just as important as the values and traditions they uphold. To help preserve and uplift the integrity of food, Indians use what is known as a Handi bowl. This bowl has a round spherical shape with a wide bottom. Its shape narrows from the middle up to its neck. The bowl's narrow neck supports the flared out opening that forms a broad rim. The bowl does not have a handle on its sides and therefore, this earthen pot is traditionally used for slow cooking. It was always a common vessel used in Indian cooking. It was heated over coals and covered with a lid to speed up the cooking process. Its metal construction allows food to be slow cooked without charring. Hence, using this pot helps preserve the natural flavors and aromas of ingredients, to their maximum extent.Handi bowls have also been introduced as tableware on Indian dining tables. They are primarily used to serve rice-based dishes, such as "biryanis" and other dry varieties. With efficient construction, the bowls consist of two layers of metal along with sufficient air cushioning. This ensures that food remains warm for longer periods of time. The Handi bowls make beautiful serving dishes and celebrate the wonderful flavors of Indian cuisine. They also add a touch of elegance to your dining table.

What Is Tri Ply Cookware?

!±8± What Is Tri Ply Cookware?

Tri Ply displays one of the worlds most popular and functional cookware concepts. Tri Ply is basically two or three different metals that are laminated or bonded together to obtain the advantages of the two metals in one piece of cookware.

The metals most often used to create this high quality cookware are stainless steel, aluminum and copper. This type of cookware is often more expensive but is very durable and conducts heat faster and more evenly. The two main types are with just a base or disc inserted in the bottom and on your top quality cookware the inside layer goes up the side as well as at the base.

The most popular type of tri ply is stainless steel with aluminum. This type has an aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. The construction of this type of cookware starts in the raw material stage, with sheets and blanks. The aluminum is laminated between two sheets of stainless steel and then molded into the desired shape.The highest quality of this type is when 18/10 stainless steel is used to cover the aluminum core with 18/8 and 18/0 being of slightly lesser quality due to the different amount of nickel and chromium used to make the stainless steel. This type of cookware, because of how it is constructed is expensive but worth the money since it lasts so long. It is great for all types of cooking and most brands can go from the stove top to the oven.

One thing to keep in mind when buying this type of cookware is that you can get the same high quality product without having to spend your life savings. There are quality cookware companies out there that can give you the same great product, made with the same materials as the top brands. Just be sure that you read up on the materials used and how it is made. The big companies know they are popular and will charge you more for their name so be careful.

Another type of tri ply cookware is made with copper, aluminum and stainless steel. It starts the same way as the stainless steel/aluminum kind but has copper laminated on the outside instead of stainless steel. It has three layers with copper on the outside, aluminum in the middle and a stainless steel interior. Copper is used for it's conductivity as well as the aluminum since stainless steel alone is not a good conductor of heat. The process of making this type of cookware is also expensive, a little more so than the stainless steel and aluminum type. It is better for the stove top because of the insulation properties of the copper. Copper does react with food and will discolor it and can even be toxic with some foods which is why most copper cookware is lined with tin, nickel or stainless steel. Despite this fact it is still a top quality product. Having copper cookware will also make a statement in your kitchen with it's classy look and mirrored finish.

As with all cookware products, as stated earlier, you want to do a little homework. Sometimes the big name brands are not the best buy for the money. You can look at what they offer for the price and compare. With a little knowledge you will most likely find a quality cookware set for about 30 to 50 percent cheaper than the big guys without compromising on quality.
