For centuries, copper has held a special place in Indian kitchens. Known as "Tamba" in Hindi, this reddish-brown metal was not just used for beautiful utensils, but was believed to possess health benefits and add a unique flavour to food. A Copper Parat, is a versatile flat plate used for everything, from kneading dough to serving rotis and puris.
At Kitdor, we celebrate this rich heritage by offering a stunning selection of Copper Parats. But what exactly makes our Parats special?
The Versatility of a Copper Parat
Sure, a copper Parat is undeniably beautiful. Its warm, reddish shine adds a touch of sophistication to any kitchen. But its appeal goes far beyond aesthetics. Here are some reasons why a Copper Parat deserves a spot in your kitchen:
- Natural Antibacterial Properties: Copper is a naturally antimicrobial metal. Studies have shown that copper surfaces can inactivate bacteria and viruses. While not a replacement for proper hygiene, this inherent property can provide an added layer of protection in your kitchen.
- Ayurvedic Significance: In Ayurveda, the ancient Indian science of medicine, copper is considered to balance all three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). It is believed to aid digestion, improve immunity, and even reduce inflammation.
- Heat Conductivity: Copper is an excellent conductor of heat. This means a copper Parat can help keep your dough or cooked food at a consistent temperature.
- Versatility: The Parat's flat, wide surface makes it ideal for a variety of tasks. Use it for kneading dough, prepping vegetables, serving curries, or even storing food items like chopped fruits or grated coconut.

How to Maintain Your Copper Parat?
Copper is a relatively soft metal, so a little care goes a long way in keeping your Parat looking its best. Here are some quick tips:
- Wash your Parat with warm soapy water and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- You can use a lemon and salt mixture to remove any tarnish that may develop. Simply rub the mixture on the copper surface and rinse with water.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the finish.
- To maintain the shine, you can occasionally polish your Parat with a copper polish or a homemade solution of vinegar and salt.
