TIPU Spice Jar
spice storage
Our TIPU Spice Jar is perfect for storing all types of ground or whole spices. Made from borosilicate glass, the TIPU jar features a handcrafted wooden lid made using traditional techniques in the Indian town of Channapatna.
Each lid is made from locally sourced Hale Maara (Ivory Wood) and carefully turned on a lathe to achieve the desired form. A natural resin called lac is pressed onto the wood while the heat and friction from the lathe melts the lac, allowing it to adhere beautifully.
The lid's red, green and yellow hues are naturally derived from turmeric (yellow), manjistha (red), indigo (blue) and kanchi kum kum (orange) rendering them food safe. These are then polished using screwpine, a locally found fibrous leaf to achieve a glossy finish.
The snug fitting lid ensures that spices are kept fresh. The glass jar (sans the lid) is dishwasher safe.
Dimensions - dia 5.7cm x h 11.5cm

Your cookware must be seasoned prior to use. Seasoning is the process of treating the surface of a cooking vessel to produce a resistant and non-stick cooking surface. To season, add 3-4 table spoons of walnut oil or flax seed oil and rub onto the inside surface of the cookware with a paper towel. Allow it to soak in for 15 minutes and remove any excess.
Preheat oven to max (230-240 or gas mark 8/9) and place your cookware in the oven for 60 minutes. Once complete, turn off your oven and allow your cookware to cool to room temperature before taking it out.Your cookware is now seasoned and ready to use. For the first few uses we recommend using extra oil and always starting on a low flame. Also make sure your cookware is not left empty on a flame as this may cause it to crack.
