The black base gives kansa utensils a unique, rustic look that contrasts beautifully with the golden or bronze color of the rest of the item. This makes the utensils visually striking and desirable for those who appreciate a blend of traditional and contemporary styles.

In regions like Odisha, artisans often use the black base finish as part of their traditional craftsmanship. It adds a distinct cultural touch, enhancing the artistic value of each piece.

The blackened base can also contribute to the durability of the utensil, protecting it from corrosion and wear over time.

In some traditions, the black base is also seen as a symbol of grounding, reflecting the connection between earth and metal, adding a deeper cultural significance to the utensil.

• Wash your kansa utensils with mild liquid soap and warm water after each use.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, strong detergents, or abrasive scrubs as they can damage the natural shine and texture of the kansa.
• Gently scrub with a soft sponge or cloth to remove food residues without scratching the surface.
• After washing, always dry your kansa utensils immediately with a soft, dry cloth to prevent water stains or tarnishing.
• Leaving water on the surface can cause discoloration over time.
• To restore the natural shine of kansa, you can use natural polishers like pitambari powder (a traditional metal cleaner), which is specifically made for cleaning brass and bronze items.
• While kansa utensils are durable, avoid exposing them to very high direct heat (like cooking over a flame), as it may cause discoloration. They are better suited for serving or dining rather than direct cooking.
• Always wash kansa utensils by hand. The heat and strong detergents in dishwashers can harm the metal and dull its appearance.
