Some occasions need a kadhai that works more like a small cooking vessel. The Stahl Artisan Triply Stainless Steel Kadhai in 28 cm (model 4328) holds 4.4 litres and comes with a stainless steel lid. Stahl's sizing guide places it for eight to nine people, so it suits puja prasad, a housewarming lunch, a family function or a weekend when the whole extended family is at home.
The triply body combines a 304 stainless steel cooking surface, an aluminium core and a magnetic 430 stainless steel exterior. At this size, even heating is the difference between a gravy that cooks uniformly and one that scorches at the base while the edges stay cool. The kadhai runs on gas, induction, electric, ceramic and halogen cooktops, has investment-cast stainless steel handles, and carries a 3-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

This is the size for cooking once and serving many: halwa for a puja, a large pot of sabzi, or a big batch of pulao-style dishes. It handles quantities a standard family kadhai cannot.
Large pans lose heat evenly only if the base is built for it. The aluminium core spreads heat across the whole 28 cm base, so a large quantity of food cooks consistently, and masala does not burn at the centre.
Gas, induction, electric, ceramic and halogen are all supported. If you cook for functions on a gas stove at home and use induction elsewhere, the same kadhai goes with you.
The lid is stainless steel, easy to clean and maintain, with no glass to crack under heat. It is useful for covered simmering, and for holding food warm after cooking while you finish the rest of a meal.
The handles are investment-cast stainless steel, built to take the weight of a full pan. With four litres or more of hot food inside, lift with a dry cloth and use both hands.
A soft sponge, mild soap and warm water keep the surface clean, and a 3-year warranty against manufacturing defects covers the kadhai.
The 28 cm kadhai is a fitting gift for a family that hosts, such as a joint household, or a couple whose families will gather for festivals and pujas. A kadhai this size is often passed down, so it signals care rather than a quick gift. For corporate gifting, it suits senior-level Diwali gifts, retirement gifts and long-service recognition, where the recipient values a solid, practical item they will keep for years.
Stahl's sizing guide places the 28 cm (4.4 L) at eight to nine people. That makes it a good choice for a small function, a puja or a family gathering.
Yes. The even heat of the triply base suits stirring dishes like halwa, which are prone to sticking and scorching, and the 4.4 L capacity leaves room for stirring a large batch.
Yes. The magnetic 430 stainless steel outer layer makes it induction compatible. It also works on gas, electric, ceramic and halogen cooktops.
Yes. The pack contains one kadhai and one stainless steel lid.
