In North Tamil Nadu, soapstone has been used for centuries to create carvings and figures, and now, our artisans use the same techniques to create these beautiful cooking implements. Not to be confused with stoneware, which is a kind of clay fired at high temperature, these soapstone pots, or Makal Chatti, are actually handcrafted from a single block of natural, non-toxic soap stone which allows them to withstand high temperatures and keep the food hot for a very long time. The beautiful stone also makes for a stunning and exotic presentation.
When you receive the cookware

Follow 3 steps in the order as given below:

1) Fill up water, mix 2 large spoons of rice flour, boil on the Smallest flame size and then allow it to cool. Repeat this procedure 4 times. (Never wash the cook pot before this)

2) Cook rice/millet/dal for the first 10 days (10 times) only on a Small flame (cooking time maybe 15-20 min )

3) Cook any food with water (soup, rice, millet, dal, khadi, sambhar, rasam etc.,) for a month on a small/medium flame. After this procedure, the pot can also be used to stir fry vegetables/meat.

4 things you should avoid while using soapstone cookware:

1) Don't boil milk or deep fry with oil

2) Never keep an empty pot on the flame

3) Don't use the cookware for tadka/tempering, however, the tadka can be poured into the food in the vessel.

4) Never use high flame. (Soapstone, a material with high heat retention, can cook the food effectively just on medium flame)
