India’s baking culture is expanding rapidly, yet most home bakers still depend on low-grade, mass-market tools that aren’t built for Indian ovens, recipes or cooking habits. Cumin Co. addresses this gap with a new range of premium bakeware crafted intentionally for the Indian kitchen.
The collection introduces porcelain-grade ceramic bakeware, engineered to resist stains, oil deposits and lingering smells, ensuring easy release, even heat distribution and consistent results. The ceramic range includes versatile baking trays and mini cocottes designed for everything from cookies and gratins to individual desserts.
To further elevate performance, Cumin Co. brings patented 4-layer enamel cast iron to India, alongside its premium ceramic. The enamel cast iron series, featuring a Braiser and Bread Oven, delivers superior browning, smoother simmers and evenly baked bread, supporting both everyday cooking and more ambitious baking projects.
Through this partnership, Cumin Co. aims to educate, elevate and democratise access to high-quality bakeware in India. By combining Pooja Dhingra’s trusted voice with materials engineered for performance and longevity, the brand empowers home bakers with tools that finally match the country’s evolving baking rituals.
