10 inch Bronze Appachatty APPA-KBM-1
The bronze appachatty, also known as appachatti or appachetty, is a traditional cooking utensil widely used in South Indian cuisine, particularly in Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
Bronze is chosen for making appachatties due to its excellent heat conductivity, which ensures even cooking of the appams. This helps in achieving the desired texture—crispy around the edges and soft in the center. Additionally, bronze utensils are valued for their durability and ability to retain heat, making them ideal for cooking various dishes.
In South Indian households, the appachatty is commonly used to make a variety of appams, including plain appams, sweet appams (like velayappam), and savory versions. The unique flavor and texture imparted by bronze utensils are highly valued in traditional South Indian cooking, contributing to the popularity and continued use of the appachatty.
Dimensions: Diameter of the appachatty is 10 inches and it weighs 2kgs.
