Pakkad

Pakkad – (Sansi, Sharashi, Sandshi)

Pakkad is a tong with a scissor-like action. They are meant for holding a hot utensil while cooking to stir food, or to remove hot cookware from a stove.

There are several varieties of Pakkads, where the design of the two arms of the Pakkad, and the gripping mechanism vary. Some modern Pakkad designs resemble a four legged insect!

The traditional Sansis/ Pakkads were made of cast iron but the modern-day ones are made of stainless steel or aluminium.
