Not every dish needs a big pan. The Stahl Artisan Triply Stainless Steel Kadhai in 16 cm (model 4316) holds 0.8 litres and comes with a stainless steel lid. Stahl's sizing guide points this size to small portions of vegetables and lentils, which makes it a natural fit for tempering, a single serving of sabzi or dal, and quick snacks cooked for one or two people.
Small pans need good heat control, and the triply build provides it: a 304 stainless steel cooking surface, an aluminium core and a magnetic 430 stainless steel outer layer. The core spreads heat evenly so a tadka or a small gravy does not scorch at the centre. The kadhai works on gas, induction, electric, ceramic and halogen cooktops, has investment-cast stainless steel handles, and carries a 3-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
Since 1970, Girdhar Das & Sons has been the kitchenware address Varanasi households return to. Every Stahl product we stock is brand-authorised and 100% genuine, with manufacturer warranty support. Order at gdsons.co.in with delivery across India, or visit us at W.H. Smith School Road, Sigra, Varanasi to see how compact this kadhai really is. Our team can help you choose between sizes and cooktops.
This is the kadhai for one or two people: a serving of sabzi, a bowl of dal fry, a quick upma or poha. It heats quickly, uses little oil and takes up almost no shelf space in a compact kitchen.
The small, deep shape suits a tadka of ghee, cumin and chilli, or a handful of vegetables sautéed in minutes. Because the base spreads heat evenly, spices release their aroma without catching at the centre.
A 304 stainless steel interior stays non-reactive with tomato, curd and tamarind, while the aluminium core and 430 magnetic outer layer give even heat and induction compatibility. It is a proper triply pan in a small size.
The kadhai runs on gas, induction, electric, ceramic and halogen. That helps hostel rooms, rented flats and second kitchens, where the cooktop type is not always the one you would have chosen.
The stainless steel lid is easy to clean and will not chip. Investment-cast stainless steel handles give a firm grip, even on a small pan, so it stays steady when you toss or stir.
The 16 cm kadhai makes a thoughtful gift for a couple setting up their first home, a student moving into a hostel or a sibling starting work in a new city. It is useful on day one, and triply steel with a 3-year warranty means it stays in use long after more decorative gifts have been put away. For corporate gifting, its compact size is easy to pack and courier in volume, which suits employee welcome kits, relocation gifts and Diwali hampers for staff.
It is best for one to two people. Stahl's sizing guide points the 16 cm size to small portions of vegetables and lentils. For a family of four to five, the 22 cm is a better fit.
It suits tadka, a single serving of sabzi or dal, a small batch of fried snacks, and quick breakfast dishes. It is not meant for large gravies or batch cooking.
