The cast iron pots are mild steel and grind down inside to make smooth with an angle grinder. They are seasoned by regular usage which makes them not rust when stored properly. They are much heavier. I have a few, even the big heavy-ass prayers/wedding pots passed down through the family. You can knock it and hear the difference too, nice ringing bell sound.DMan7 wrote:"Bandanya" yes.

I think that word is really bandhania which is a Hindi word for "a tied up bundle."
Chadon (pronounced by swallowing the last consonant as the French would) Beni is French from le chardon "thistle" and beni "blessed."

Maybe the ones you have are cast iron but I’ve never seen one. My family uses those huge wedding pots and my in laws as well and none are cast iron all are cast aluminum and are thicker than the regular ones you use on the stove hence the weight. Dead giveaway is that they don’t rust after washing like my cast iron skillet when I don’t re season it imho

Aluminum cookware really don't rust like iron for sure. But the ever present oxide layer continually gets picked up by foods and then you end up in the madhouse.
Aluminum is the new lead. Spread the word.

And let the glaze build up and never scrub it off with Brasso to get it shiny again.
Old ppl knowledge I guess.
