Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Roti/Chapati/Dosa Tawa Pan with Stick Handle, Dosa Kallu, Iron Tawa Big Size | Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Cookware | Gas Stovetop Compatible | 26cm, Black

After trying so many brands of tawas, I finally found the perfect one. It’s a roti tawa with a slightly concave surface in the middle, which is exactly what I was looking for. It is very easy to use and maintain. Whether I’m making dosas, egg dosas, or even frying fish, it works wonderfully. The concave design helps prevent oil from spilling over the edges and makes cooking much more convenient. I specifically chose this roti tawa because of its unique shape, and I’m really happy with my purchase. I absolutely love this product! To maintain this tawa, it needs to be seasoned before the first use. Although it comes pre-seasoned, you still need to put in a little effort to get the best results. First, I washed it with dishwashing soap and let it dry completely. Then, I applied a very thin layer of oil—just 2 to 3 drops—and spread it evenly across the surface. I heated the tawa over medium heat for about 5 minutes and then allowed it to cool completely. I repeated this process five times. After that, I scrubbed the surface with half an onion dipped in salt. Then I started making dosas. The first dosa stuck slightly, but from the second dosa onwards, everything turned out perfectly. Now, the tawa works beautifully. Finding the perfect dosa tawa is just like finding a good husband—rare, but worth the wait! 😂 Happy dosa, happy life! 😜

Got this in 2,677.50 (In same price it is available on their website too, but of course Amazon delivery is faster). The main reasons for going for this tawa VS many others available from Indians brands was - + The Handle. For making dosas all types of handles are fine but for making rotis/phulka you have to remove every time. The long handle really helps here. + Its exactly 26 cm (10.23 inch) perfect for chapati, roti and paratha size and also home cooked dosas. With this size and weight (approximately 1.9 kg) combination its really comfortable for my mom to handle while cooking and washing. + Although we did our own seasoning with groundnut and mustard oil, It was very well seasoned from before. Surface was smooth, black, even and shiny. + A complimentary brown handle cover was provided. + There were no defects in craftsmanship and joints, full tawa is a single piece cast iron including handle. + Heats evenly. We didn't go with Lodge one in same price range because of the structure of this tawa. Its perfectly round with slight depth in center vs purely flat and upward edges/corner in lodge where extra oil can deposit and will be hard to clean, can damage seasoning. The only benefit was that Lodge one is made in USA while this is made in China (although its true but surely its a very high quality import and not cheap Chinese make that doesn't last long) If your main aim to is to cook only dosas then you may go for bigger one in much cheaper price, just have to season it properly. And although this was seasoned, We did our seasoning using oven method. Washed it with soap and water, dried it and applied oil, wiped oil and put in oven at maximum temp. Repeated this 2-3 times and we good even blacker and shiny seasoning layer.

too good . truly non stick

Firstly, I am using stainless steel gas stove. The reason why I am stating this is because, with SS gas stove, the heat spreads out well unlike with glass stove, the heat doesn't spread out well to protect the glass from heat damage. Secondly, I am used to making dosa in the smaller burner. I have tried cast iron tawas from brands such as Bhagya, Indus valley, dynamite, hawkins and the great Indian kitchen. Now coming to the review of Meyer 28 cm tawa: Nicely packed. The tawa is very heavy. Very sturdy. Seasoning is good. I am well used to cast iron tawa, so I had no dosa sticking to tawa issue. The tawa is too large for my usual second (smaller) burner. The edges of tawa didn't heat up well. But when I used on larger burner, the tawa did heat up well to little bigger central area. But the center still charred and the corners didn't cook well. The tawa doesn't have machine finish. That is, the surface is not smooth and it causes the oil cloth to tear up easily. And one of the most unexpected thing happened, which is after using the tawa, the burner became black. Should you buy this? Indus valley tawa performs exactly the same as this one but has smooth machine finish. In short, totally not worth spending ₹ 2500 for this performance. One more tawa is on the way of arrival. Once I test it out, I will update this review.

Excellent

It is what a cast iron tawa should be like and came seasoned . It's thickness is more compared to our normal aluminium tawa. It's heavy ofcourse, The curve of the tawa is very subtle. The handle is also of cast iron and retains a lot of heat , if you don't get canvas grip in your package , return it . The major flaw of this tawa is that does not balance itself on stove properly due to its heavy handle. If you balance it at centre , it topples and is dangerous as cast iron retains lot of heat.

It’s an amazing addition to my kitchen. I bought this from Amazon 5 years back and it’s still working amazing, it’s for lifetime use worth the purchase from a long time perspective Great material and naturally nonstick

Though the product details such as weight, size, application etc. were known at the time of purchase, however now we find that its daily and frequent use is challenging. First of all, you need to be sufficiently strong to put it and remove from the stove or oven. Secondly, frequent oiling and treatment is required to prevent rust. One has to be very very careful as it remains hot for a very long time. Overall it need not be a compelling purchase. Alternative products with similar utility are available.

Authentic Cast iron as it is heavy and if you season well, this is the best. The dosa made in cast iron tawa is heavenly, reminds of childhood!! if you know how to season and use the cast iron, go ahead!!

This product is very very bad my suggestion do not purchase, Tawa handle is also made of iron and it get super hot, after 1st wash rust came from black color it turned yellow bcoz of the rust. I am very disappointed

Giving five star for early delivery..i was supposed to receive it between 6th October to 12th October. I received it today opened it and it’s beautiful just as described but i have not received the canvas handle cover. I was expecting a proper guide on how to use it as i am a first time user so wanted to get some very detailed manual, though there is a brief manual on how to use, wash and care Happy with what i got..will post more detail comment after using it couple of time

Loved this tawa Dint come with the leather handle cap thoh But i loved the tawa so much .. No complaints..

Real crispy dose I made in first attempt , Need to know how to season properly and don’t scrub hard with metal scrubber's, Dry it well after cleaning.
