Kalchatti Soapstone Vessel (Kitchen Storage or Curd Setting)

Soapstone Vessel, also known as kalchattis are carved out of soapstone, a naturally occurring soft stone. Soapstone has been in use in India for thousands of years for carving and for making vessels. This hand-crafted soapstone kitchenware is carefully hand chiselled from a block of soapstone by traditional artisans of Tamil Nadu. This carving art is passed on from one generation to another. The soapstone vessel retains the natural flavour, original aroma and taste of the food stored in it.

Soapstone has natural cooling properties and hence they are perfect for setting and storing your homemade curd. It can prevent the curd from turning sour soon even in hot summer. Once the curd is set it can be stored in the fridge as well. This soapstone vessel can also be used to store butter, salt, tamarind and spices.
