Extra Heavy Duty 8mm Aluminum Biryani Handi Lagan Brazier with Lid

Crafted from premium-grade aluminum with an extra-thick 8mm bottom, this heavy-duty biryani lagan brazier is built for the demands of commercial Indian kitchens. The wide, shallow design provides maximum surface contact with your heat source, making it ideal for layering rice and meat for authentic dum biryani preparation. Every size comes with a matching lid.

Why Choose This Lagan

• Premium aluminum construction that won't rust or corrode, even with daily commercial use.
• 8mm thick bottom provides exceptional stability, even heat distribution, and resists warping under high heat over time.
• Round, wide design promotes rapid, uniform cooking across the entire surface.
• Versatile beyond biryani. Use it for slow-cooking nihari, haleem, large-batch curries, cooking whole goat legs, kneading dough, or even storing milk and water.
• Easy to clean. Simply wash with warm water, mild soap, and a soft sponge. No complex cleaning methods needed.
• Comes with lid. Every size includes a matching aluminum lid for proper dum cooking.

Care Instructions

• Always allow the lagan to cool completely before washing.
• Wash with warm water, mild soap, and a soft non-abrasive sponge.
• After washing, immediately dry with a cloth or paper towel to prevent limescale buildup.
• To remove stubborn cooked-on residue, boil water with vinegar in the pot for 4 to 5 minutes, then wash and dry as above.
• Important: Aluminum cookware is not dishwasher safe. Hand wash only.
