At SUNCASA, we specialize in premium-quality cookware tailored for modern Indian homes. Whether you’re team cast iron or loyal to stainless steel, this guide will help you make an informed decision.
Cast Iron Cookware – Traditional Strength, Natural Nonstick
Cast iron cookware is a time-tested favorite for Indian cooking. Known for its superior heat retention, it’s perfect for dishes that require slow cooking, frying, or high-temperature searing. Over time, with proper seasoning, cast iron develops a natural nonstick surface that makes cooking healthier and easier.
Advantages of Cast Iron Cookware:
- Excellent heat retention and even distribution
- Naturally nonstick when seasoned
- Ideal for tawa, dosa, roti, and deep-frying
- Suitable for stovetop and oven use
- Long-lasting and improves with age
Stainless Steel Cookware: Sleek, Durable & Everyday-Friendly
Stainless steel cookware is the go-to choice for daily use. It’s non-reactive, easy to clean, and offers consistent performance across a wide range of cooking techniques. From boiling milk to sautéing vegetables, SUNCASA stainless steel cookware handles it all with ease and elegance.
Advantages of Stainless Steel Cookware:
- Durable, rust-resistant, and easy to maintain
- Doesn’t react with acidic foods (like tomatoes or tamarind)
- Great for sautéing, boiling, simmering, and stir-frying
- Dishwasher and induction-friendly
- Lightweight and modern in design
