Kansa has been used for centuries as tableware and is known for its health benefits. Your Kansa tableware is 100% food-safe. Kansa changes colour with use. Some Kansa products have a black finish on the outside, which will fade after a few washes due to its natural properties. To maintain your Kansa, clean with a soft cloth and Pitambari (metal polish) diluted with water or with lime & salt or vinegar & salt or tamarind. Wipe dry immediately or else water residues will leave stains. Do not use abrasive cleaning pads on your Kansa tableware.
