Belly Pots / Cooking Pots

The Belly Pot is Kitchen King's deep, rounded cooking pot — what households have traditionally called a handi or deep patila. The curved, wide-bottom shape is not just aesthetic: it allows steam and heat to circulate differently from a straight-sided pot, which is why biryani and rice cooked in a rounded handi-style pot tastes different from biryani made in a cylinder. The rounded body traps steam at the sides rather than letting it all escape upward, keeping the rice grains separate and moist throughout the cook.

Available in 12 sizes covering the full range from small everyday portions to large family and commercial quantities. Heavy-gauge food-grade aluminium body with a satin silver finish. Suitable for gas and electric glass stovetops. Compatible with any household or commercial gas burner.
