HAWKINSFutura Induction Compatible Nonstick Flat Tava 30 cm, 4.88 mm (Black)

Love the pan so far. I use only for Indian dosas and love it. Yes you to take good care of the non stick by following the instructions.

It can't handle high heats too well,

Only the brownish area with rivets is induction compatible. Theres 4 1/2 ins in the middle that isnt ( check with magnet). This is probably why it doesnt work if you have a 6 in burner for some people. Mine had a small metal sliver sticking out from one of the rivets, which had i not noticed would have scratched my glass top. The handle is uncomfortable when you turn it sideways to tip out food.

Such a great value for money, really liked the product and would highly recommend it to anyone!!

The media could not be loaded.  SAFE AND HEALTHYPerfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) free: a cancer-causing chemical that was used up till sometime in most teflon based products.EVEN HEATINGWe've enjoyed tender and scrumptious pancakes and poodas owing to the even heating arising out of being anodised with a thick 4.88mm gauge. Much better than previous tawas.STURDY HANDLEThe 'stay-cool handle' - as the company calls it - lives up to its name. It's strongly riveted to the body and remains cool throughout.SUPERIOR INDUCTION BASE DIAMETERHawkins justify the price by providing induction bottom with diameter almost equalling the tawa's. Cheaper brands try to cut corners by incorporating induction bottoms with minimal diametric coverage.DURABILITYIt comes with quality, German coating. With a little precaution, this tawa can do you years of service. I'd recommend using Rena silicon spatulas that are far more durable and tender on the tawa than their wooden counterparts.FREEBIESHawkins have been thoughtful to throw in a complimentary cookbook along with a wooden spatula and a nylon scrubber.VERDICT, WITH A WORD ABOUT THE COMPETITIONThis is more like a one time investment. You will surely be tempted by the likes of Prestige, Solimo, Pigeon, etc with a lower price tag. While they're all good brands, but having owned all three over different periods of time, I can, with faith, vouch for the superiority of this tawa. If there's a downside to it, I'd say that being a large 30cm tawa, the far ends remain a few degrees cooler than the main surface. But for the larger part, your food will barely spread out to the broad 30mm boundary. Happy cooking!

This griddle is very good and it can be use for shallow frying, prathans, chapati, pan cakes etc......price wise it is reasonable here then stores......
