Our range of traditional Kadai fire bowls offer a selection of timeless, high quality metalwork pieces for anyone who has a passion for outdoor entertaining. Originating from India, Kadai bowls were historically used to cook fragrant and spicy dishes for whole villages and formed a crucial part of family life and gatherings. These beautiful bowls are genuine Indian Kadai designs and are not reproductions in any way. They are wonderfully aged, with many made from reclaimed and reused iron, making each piece entirely individual and unique.
Because of their authentic nature, every bowl is different in weight and size, and the number of handles and their positioning can vary from the pictures shown. Our bowls are priced due to their weight, and not their size, with all sizes being approximate.
Note that we recommend only burning wood in your bowl and that all bowls will patina and turn an orange over time with age. This aging process will not affect the integrity and durability of the metal but we do recommend giving your burner a light rub down with oil after each use. Kadai's should only be used outside in well ventilated areas.
