Cooking rice or dal for one or two people does not need a big pot, and a small handi is just as useful for khichdi, a bowl of kheer or boiled potatoes. The Bergner Essential Ankush Triply Rice Handi in 16 cm holds 2.2 litres and is made of triply stainless steel. It is a size for a solo kitchen, a hostel room or a couple's daily meals.
Tri-ply construction means three bonded layers that spread heat evenly across the base, which helps rice and dal cook without catching at the bottom. The handi works on both gas and induction cooktops. Its deep, rounded handi shape keeps boiling water and rice contained, and the stainless steel body does not react with salt, tamarind or tomato. Wash it with mild soap and a soft sponge to keep the finish clean.

Two point two litres cooks rice and dal for a single person or a couple, with room for the water to boil without spilling. It is the small, everyday handi size.
Three layers bonded together spread heat across the base instead of letting it gather in one spot. That makes rice, khichdi and dal cook more evenly, with less sticking.
The handi works on a gas burner and on an induction cooktop. For a hostel room or a flat with an induction plate, that flexibility is a real advantage.
The deep, rounded shape keeps boiling water, starch and rice inside the pot. It also works well for soups, boiled eggs and potatoes, so it is more than a rice pot.
Stainless steel does not hold on to smells or react with salt and acidic ingredients. A soak in warm soapy water and a soft sponge are enough to clean it after rice or dal.
A small triply handi suits a student heading to a hostel, a couple starting their first kitchen, and a housewarming gift for a small flat. For corporate gifting, the 16 cm handi works for new-joinee kits and relocation gifts, where a compact, good-quality stainless steel pot is practical for someone setting up a kitchen on their own.
It cooks rice and dal for two to three people. For larger families, choose a bigger handi.
Triply means three bonded layers of metal in the body and base. The layers spread heat more evenly, which reduces hot spots and sticking.
