Rock Tawa Induction Base Cast Iron Pan, 10.5 Inches, Black

The tawa was delivered on time ( infact bit earlier) in a very good packing which could withstand a journey in check-in baggage.Though it came pre-seasoned, I cleaned it with a dish-cleaner, wiped with a towel and smeared oil on it and heated it thrice ( normal seasoning practice)As adviced on YouTube videos, I prepared two dosas and threw it, so that the next batch does not get any iron smell.After every dosa, it requires a brushing (as shown in the pic) and rubbing with half onion dipped in oil. You get perfect dosas once this is done and does not stick to the tawa. This one is perfect to make rava dosas which require a flat base.Cleaning and Maintenance : Though it was adviced not to use water, I clean it by hand, after every use, with a drop of dish cleaner and allow it stand ( as shown in the pic)so that it dries faster. Once dried, I apply oil on both the sides and keep it inside the kitchen cabinet. It does not show any sign of rusting once oil is applied. I follow the same rule for my other griddle too.On a whole , it is very a good tawa and easy to handle with one hand ( though it weighs 1.93 kgs). The size is not exactly 10.5 inches but slightly smaller. I would recommend this to anyone who would like to replace their non-stick with cast iron tawa.

I know the importance of iron in our body so I am using iron Tawa Iron Kadhai in my kitchen on daily basis.This Rock Tawa is having Good quality , enough thickness , good sturdiness,well pre seasoned and overall very good build up quality.Only more finishing is required on both sides that's all.

I was worried before using this since we always bought our iron tawas from local shops. But seeing and reading about the product, I decided to buy it. And it was the right decision.This tawa is pretty good.1. Real cast iron tawa - I see some sellers selling coated tawas in the garb of cast iron in local shops. This is real cast iron.2. Pre-seasoned - A big advantage. Seasoning is a tedious process if you have to do it on your own. This tawa is pre seasoned. Although, you will need to do a bit of seasoning for maintenance, it is not too difficult.3. Good shape and size - perfect for making dosas4. Good heat retentionGo ahead, buy this. Worth the price. Real value for money.

Writing this review after first use... I seasoned the tawa once as mentioned in the description on the packaging. Started using the tawa from next day.First dosa got stuck at the edges (since I kept the flame low). From second dosa, everything was fine.I applied a little oil and wiped it with a tissue before making dosa for the first few dosas. Then made dosas without applying oil... Both came out good!Good heat distribution at medium flame (never used at high flame), reasonable weight.Will update after few months of usage.

Not everyone is experienced with handling the cast iron cookware. It takes some learning & getting used to. I informed my wife and mother about how to ensure the rustfree maintenance of this tawa, but also showed it to them twice practically, now they know & understand it. Initially, we had to use an onion to wipe it before pouring dosa batter. Now, it started to retain the seasoning with every use. When it is cleaned with Water, it needs to be wiped with cloth to dry it & NOT let it air dry. Soon after drying it with cloth, apply oil put it on gas on medium flame, let part of the oil evaporate & then let it cool, before keeping it aside for next time usage.

i ordered 2 times and returned 2 times-wastage of time. the middle portion of tawa is good, properly seasoned but sides of the tawa were scratched after seasoning to make it plain. so the dosa will 100 percent stick on the outer side of surface. After 2 times trying and ordering i contacted support and they told its buffing done to smooth the surface. Ah well.. i definitely won't like to have tawa with sand-papered on the sides of the surface on rs800 tawa making it look like road-side tawa on that area.

I just received the product & not used yet. So can't comment on its working but I have an issue related to product's manufacturing.Inside part of it's both handles are to sharp too cut the finger very easily and very often. I've uploaded the pics. Even after rubbed it up with sand paper, still they are looking so sharp.Manufacturer must need to give special attention on finishing part as well to upgrade the product's utility, status & value.Performance review will give later once I'll use it. I bought it after gone through so many good reviews. So hope for the best😊.

I ordered 10.5 inch but received 12 inch..I tried for replacement but it was not available..so kept 12 inch..I treated the tawa 1st time as mentioned in the instructions given and then its ready to use..I always prepared dosas on non stick..never knew how to prepare on iron tawa..but this tawa is great..I could make the dosas as easily as non stick tawa..heat distribution is even and tawa is quite easy to clean
