Kansa kitchenware is also called the hands of grace. In the 5th chapter and 46th verse, of famous grantha ‘Rasratnasamucchaya we find significant information about Kansa Kitchenware on medicinal properties and its benefits to humans. How is it made? Copper and tin are heated together for 400 -700 degrees Celsius to form Bronze. This molten metal is then made into sheets which are then molded into desired shapes. Utensils are manually finished by polishing with traditional materials such as sand and tamarind juice. Designs are made by skilfully hammering a series of tiny dents into the heated metal. Kansa Kitchenware has been used since the period of Samhita Kala or as far back as we know from our recorded history.
