Hawkins Futura Hard Anodised Flat Tava 26 cm, 4.88 mm (Black)

Has all features I was looking for. It has metal handle without heating up. The plastic (or whatever they call) handles get burnt in one use on flame based stoves giving extremely poisonous gas and odor every time you use them which is not the case with this one. The handle is bent which gives very nice grip and ease of use. It is very sturdy and handles are joint with rippits. No issues with coating so far. The edges are very short which was our first requirement. It is very easy to clean without the fear of damaging surface.

Extremely pleased with this, finally found an option for coping on induction stove that is both healthy and doesn’t get destroyed in a month. Recommend it

My sister from India bought this as a gift to make Dosa for my kids. But this product sticks to the dough when poured on the hot surface, even at reduced heat. I have tried various temperatures. I followed the instructions exactly. I have been making dosa for over 40 years and never had a product this bad. Funny thing is that a cheap walmart griddle worked far better. The anticlimax was my little daughter wanted to see how the dosa is made and she was looking forward to see something like what her aunt (my sister) makes. She was so disappointed. After trying several times, I decided to return this product. It did work with chappathis, nans and other dishes that are more consistent in texture. The picture on the box indicates that this would also make dosas and thats why my sister bought this for me. I have other Hawkins pots and pants that never gave any problem.

I wanted a griddle for everyday use..to make rotis n parathas..I was looking for something which is nice design but NOT NONSTICK for Health Concerns.. this is perfect..It heats up pretty quick so you have to get adjusted to the heating pattern..If you are looking for nonstick pan, this is not for you..I have been using a steel wool to clean this pan after making parathas for over a year now..its still good

This product is as good as it gets in terms of a Tawa. Very heavy duty. Will last a long time. I remove burned on stains with steel wool/brillo pads.

I bought this one for making dosa but its no good for making dosa since it isn't non-stick. Its just anodized. Its good for making chapathis and rotis, something that doesn't stick to its bottom. It catches heat really fast and maintains that temperature too. But its not good for any kind of dough that would stick to its bottom. Its heavy and looks good. I should have bought a non-stich griddle instead of this one.

This was a great griddle for rotis and parathas but impossible to get clean afterwards. Just after 2 days of use and cleaning according to the instructions, cleaning only with non stick scrubbers, it looked like we had been using it for years. Good idea but very high maintenance.

Very nice. Good to make rotis, Indian bread. It’s not non-stick. Compatible with induction stove.
