Sahar Fire Bowl Set – 80cm

Manufactered from recycled iron these Kadai’s are light-weight and have a consistent thickness and finish. We stock a numebr of accessories which can be purchased in addition to the fire bows themselves.

The Kadai design originates from Northern India, where it is used as a large cooking pot at festivals and weddings, as well as for general day-to-day cooking. The tried-and-tested design has not changed for centuries, with riveted plates formed into a bowl shape and fitted with strong handles.

When using a Kadai-style fire pit for an open fire, we recommend very dry wood. The drier the wood, the less smoke the fire will produce. If you are using the fire pit to cook food over, we suggest charcoal, but once wood has burnt down to embers, that also works well.

Cover the inside of the Kadai evenly with approximately 5cm of builders’ sand; do not use beach sand, as it contains salt. Using sand has several benefits, e.g., heat is retained longer, it raises the level of charcoal, and wood burns better on sand than directly on metal.

The steel will age and surface rust over time; this is not a defect but adds patina to the fire bowl. The waxy finish can be maintained if sprayed with a product like Penetrol, which is available at any hardware store.
