Description
A Brass Thooku Vessel with Eiyam/Tin Lining refers to a traditional South Indian hanging vessel made of brass, commonly used in households for cooking or storage. The term “Thooku” means “hanging” in Tamil, as these vessels often have a handle or provision to hang them.
The Eiyam/Tin lining inside the brass vessel serves to prevent food from reacting with the brass material, making it safe for cooking or storing food items like tamarind-based curries, rasam, or other acidic dishes.
These vessels are prized for their durability, aesthetic value, and ability to retain the authentic taste of food. They’re often used in traditional kitchens or as decorative items today.
Brass Thooku Vessel Product Care
– Dust off residue/dirt with a soft brush
– For metals, clean with soft muslin cloth and warm water
– For thorough cleaning, use mild soap/ well diluted vinegar or tamarind paste. This helps retain the natural patination on the piece.
– For metal artefacts, leave in direct sunlight.
