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

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.

Writing this after 4 years of purchase as I had to buy this for someone else. Very good product,best quality and size. Have been using it everyday since purchase,not a single scratch accrued nor any damage. Go ahead without any doubt.

Good quality pan but (my mistake!) not compatible for induction hob. Cost over £6.00 to return in postage 😟

This works great. Use it very often. Wish I would have bought a slightly bigger one though, a 10 in min. Also had to use a piece of folded foil to keep it level on the flat top range because I believe these are meant for gas ranges, my mistake. Still works great and makes great tortillas, chapatis and pita breads. Takes a while to get to the right temperature but maintains it perfectly once it's there. Like it better than my cast iron.

I have been using Futura for years now n there were no second thoughts to buy another product simply because after using a Wonderchef tava (which was gifted), it got so bad in less than 6 months of usage plus the chemical stench refused to let go. So deciding again on a new tava wasn’t cumbersome Cos I trust Futura completely. However what struck me was it’s early delivery than what was promised, again fab. When I opened the package, I was surprised to see the quality, durability, thickness of this tava. Moreover, because I chose a thick base, I guess that added to it being very heavy In weight but that’s still ok Cos quality speaks for itself. I have used this tava today for roti’s and it met much more than my expectations. Only thing is takes a lot of time to heat evenly but I’m still ok with it. I’ve always loved Futura n will continue doing so. Thanks Amazon for a fab product.

Very happy with this item. It looks to be of good quality. I've used a hard anodized tawa before, from another brand and that lasted me many years (before I accidentally put it in the dishwasher). This seems to be of even better quality. Used a few times already and it functions just like nonstick without the harmful coatings
