Kitchen appliances are being reassessed, especially by wealthy housewives

In the old days, Indian crockery and kitchenware was made of heavy copper and clay, but in recent years, stainless steel, aluminum, plastic, and Teflon coated items have become common as they are cheaper, lighter, and more functional.
However, for health and environmental reasons, the dinnerware made of kappa and clay is starting to get a second look, especially among wealthy housewives. Items include coffee filters, water bottles, jugs, tumblers, plates, pots and pans, etc. The prices for glasses and cups range from 300 to 1,000 Indian rupees per glass and cup, and 4,000 to 6,000 Indian rupees for 100% copper pots and pans. Smaller and more modern designs for modern kitchens are popular.

Environmental protection, recycling and toxic substances are trending topics in India

In recent years, environmental protection, eco-friendly and health-consciousness, which has been in the world's spotlight, is a trending topic in India. Tableware made of sustainable and durable materials is being re-introduced as a recycled product. Another reason is that they are made by recycling waste materials such as marble powder, wood powder, waste paper and natural glues, which are also highly profitable. Traditional cookware is seen as more fuel-efficient, able to retain nutrients, and safe because it is free of harmful chemical coatings.
