How to Select the Right Triply Tope Based on Family Size

When it comes to Indian cooking, a tope is one of the most essential pieces of cookware. From boiling milk and cooking dal to making curries, soups, and even festive dishes, a triply stainless steel tope is a versatile companion in the kitchen. But with so many sizes available—ranging from 14 cm to 26 cm—the question arises: which one should you buy?

The answer depends on your family size and cooking style. Choosing the right tope size not only makes your cooking more convenient but also ensures you don’t undercook, overcook, or waste food. Let’s break it down.

For Singles & Students – 14 cm Triply Tope

If you live alone, are a student, or simply prefer cooking in small quantities, the 14 cm triply tope is your best choice. Compact and easy to handle, it’s perfect for:

1. Boiling milk or making tea
2. Preparing a single portion of dal, soup, or rasam
3. Cooking baby food safely
4. Small kitchen spaces where every inch matters

Its lightweight design makes it convenient for daily use, while its triply construction ensures even heating without burning or sticking.

For Couples & Small Families (2–3 Members) – 16 cm Triply Tope

The 16 cm triply tope is slightly larger, making it ideal for couples or families with a child. It’s well-suited for:

1. Cooking dal or sambhar for 2–3 people
2. Preparing curries or rice in moderate portions
3. Reheating leftovers efficiently
4. Making healthy one-pot meals like khichdi

It offers the right balance between capacity and convenience, making it a great everyday cookware option.

For Medium Families (3–4 Members) – 18 cm to 20 cm Triply Tope

If you have a family of three or four members, you’ll need something versatile yet manageable. Both the 18 cm and 20 cm triply tope are excellent choices. They are perfect for:

1. Cooking rice, pulao, or biryani for the family
2. Preparing larger portions of dal, curry, or sambhar
3. Boiling vegetables or pasta in one go
4. Simmering hearty soups or stews

The 18 cm size works well if you cook in smaller batches, while the 20 cm gives extra space for when guests drop in or when you want leftovers for the next meal.

For Large Families (5–6 Members) – 22 cm Triply Tope

The 22 cm triply tope is designed for larger families who cook in bulk every day. Its spacious size makes it perfect for:

1. Cooking multiple servings of dal, sambhar, or curries
2. Preparing rice dishes or khichdi in larger portions
3. Making desserts like kheer or payasam for the whole family
4. Weekend batch cooking to save time during the week

Its even heating and durable build make everyday bulk cooking easy and efficient.

For Joint Families or Festive Cooking – 24 cm & 26 cm Triply Tope

If you have a joint family or frequently host gatherings, the 24 cm and 26 cm triply topes are your best bet. These are spacious, heavy-duty, and designed for large-scale cooking, such as:

1. Preparing biryani or pulao for a crowd

2. Cooking curries, dals, or sambhar in big batches

3. Making festive sweets like halwa, payasam, or kheer during occasions like Dussehra and Diwali

4. Bulk cooking for family get-togethers and celebrations

These larger sizes not only save time but also help you manage big meals with ease and confidence.
