PRACTICAL ALUMINIUM CONSTRUCTION
The idli cooker is made from aluminium with a silvery-white appearance. Aluminium cookware is widely used in Indian kitchens for practical everyday food preparation.
The cooker includes a lid, three idli plates and a plate-support stand, giving you the essential components required for steaming idlis in one vessel.
CARE & CLEANING
Allow the idli cooker and plates to cool before washing.
Wash using mild dishwashing liquid and a soft sponge or cloth. If dried batter remains on the plates, soak them briefly in warm water before cleaning rather than using excessive force.
Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing.
Avoid harsh chemicals and aggressive abrasive scrubbers that may unnecessarily scratch the aluminium surface.
STEAMING SAFETY
Always ensure there is sufficient water in the cooker during steaming and avoid allowing the vessel to boil dry. Take care when removing the lid because hot steam can escape rapidly.
Use suitable kitchen protection when handling the hot cooker, lid or steaming plates.
