What is a Degchi?
A degchi is a traditional Indian cooking pot with a deep, round shape and wide mouth. Its hollow design is perfect for slow cooking, as it allows for even heat distribution and easy stirring.
The broad opening makes it ideal for preparing a variety of dishes, from fragrant biryanis to creamy kheer while the heavy base ensures your food cooks evenly without burning. Featuring a snug-fitting lid it locks in flavors and moisture. Whether you're preparing a simple dal or an elaborate feast, the degchi utensil is a reliable companion in your kitchen.

- Use the Right Tools: Opt for wooden or silicone utensils to protect the tin lining inside.
- Cook on Low to Medium Heat: A Degchi is best suited for slow cooking, which helps bring out the best flavors of your ingredients.
