Futura 28 cm Tava, Hard Anodised Tawa with Stainless Steel Handle, Black (AT28)

Superb product

Is good size small I so many times find but not find quality is good cooking is good

I really love this product. I've had a tava in the past and that one got worn out after 8 years of use so I finally had to replace it and get a new one. So, I got this. It takes a little time to heat up but once it is heated up, but once heated up it evenly spreads the heat all over the tava. My best friend for rotis. But I am a bit disappointed because this came a bit damaged on the bottom part. It doesn't affect the functionality, but it still is damaged.

I have been using these Tava’s since long time this is not non stick but work very well for chapati.

I was sent a pan which surely look it has been used. There were stains on the pan from being used (oil stains). I have not used the pan and plan to ask for a replacement but the only option is to return.

I cooked regularly when I was in India but never came across this Tava. I owned a traditional Cast Iron tawa produced locally and also another non-stick tava. All in all this tava is better than either. It's production quality is top notch. Hawkins is a trusted brand. I had concerns about the metallic handle before I bought it. But in practice it is cool to the touch and has a clearly marked line beyond which it magically never heats up. The hard anodized cooking surface takes a little getting used to (if you are used to cast iron), but has great non-stick properties while not sacrificing the smooth surface finish that is required in a tava to be effective.

I have always loved Hawkins products but this one was a let down. This tawa is looking old after just two uses. The coating has disappeared. You need to put a lot of oil if you are making dosas as they get sticky. The oval shape of the tawa makes it a little unstable on the stove. I am disappointed especially as this product was not cheap and I expected a better value for money.

Hawkins brand has been in my family for last 50 years or so. Their products are always high quality and this tava is no exception. I was little concerned about metal handle getting hot to touch, but it does not. Thanks Amazon for selling this.
