Experience the perfect blend of durability and elegance with the CBS Kitchenware 18 Gauge Stainless Steel Kadhai. In an Indian kitchen, the kadhai is the most used vessel, and CBS has engineered this model to stand the test of time. Featuring a thick 18-gauge body and an "Export Quality" sticker of trust, this 1.5 Litre karahi is designed for modern homes that switch between gas and induction cooking. Its high-polish mirror finish doesn't just look premium on your stovetop—it makes cleaning a breeze.
This product is a favourite for:
Small Families: Perfect for preparing meals for 2–3 people without wasting oil or gas.
Home Chefs: Those who want a heavy-bottomed vessel to prevent "hot spots" that burn delicate spices.
New Homeowners: An essential "starter-kit" item that offers long-term value over cheaper alternatives.
The core USP of this product is its 18 Gauge Construction. In a market flooded with thin, "weightless" steel pans, CBS provides a heavy gauge that retains heat efficiently. The Bakelite Handles are a massive safety benefit—they are thermally insulated, allowing you to lift the kadhai immediately after cooking without needing a cloth or tong. Because it is made of Food-Grade Stainless Steel, it remains non-reactive to acidic ingredients like lemons, tomatoes and curd, ensuring your food stays healthy and pure.
Induction Ready: A thick, magnetic-grade bottom ensures fast heating on all modern cooktops.
Double Riveted: Handles are not just glued; they are riveted with heavy-duty steel pins for zero wobble.
Flared Rim: Designed for drip-free pouring of liquids and gravies.
Compact Storage: The sleek design fits easily in standard Indian kitchen cabinets.
Brand: CBS Kitchenware
Material: 18 Gauge Stainless Steel
Handle Type: Double Bakelite (Stay-Cool)
Capacity: 1.5 Litres
Finish: Exterior Mirror Polish
Base: Induction and Gas Compatible
Sticker Removal: Peel off the CBS label. If any residue remains, rub a drop of cooking oil to dissolve the adhesive.
Tempering: For best results, heat the pan on medium for 1 minute before adding oil. This helps in achieving a naturally slick surface.
Induction Usage: Place centrally on the induction coil for maximum energy efficiency.
Keep the Shine: Avoid using wire mesh scrubbers. A soft green pad or sponge with liquid soap will maintain the mirror finish for years.
Burnt Food: If food burns, soak the pan in warm water with a pinch of baking soda for 15 minutes instead of scrubbing hard.
Dry to Store: Always wipe the exterior dry after washing to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
When buying stainless steel, the "Gauge" indicates the thickness. Lower gauge numbers mean thicker steel. An 18-gauge kadhai is significantly thicker and heavier than standard 22-gauge varieties. Thicker steel means the base won't "bulge" over time due to heat, and your food will cook more uniformly without burning in the centre.
