urbanhouse Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Dosa Tawa 12 inches, Perfect for Cooking on Gas, Induction and Electric Cooktops (Black)

July 2022 -- Updating Review after using for 1 year. Absolutely good. Using regularly for making Dosa. Just ensure it to keep it clean, wipe off all the water and just apply cooking oil all over it when you keep it aside. This is to avoid rust. While making dosa, just ensure it heats up well. Now lower the heat, use a sliced onion and spread the cooking oil over it. Now pour the batter on the tawa, spread it and then increase the heat. Try to cook the dosa with more heat so that the dosa gets cooked at the borders too. Cooking dosa with lesser heat may over cook the middle portion and the outer portion would take longer to get cooked. Aug 2021 -- Thanks for delivering this product really quick. Was looking to replace non-stick pan with healthier alternatives and this one was perfect. Able to make Dosa, Chappati and Roti with no problem at all. Follow the instructions exactly as given with the Product. While trying to make dosa, try to spread the cooking oil evenly across the surface using a sliced onion. It really helps.

I saw so many reviews about it. The product is not bad. Many people want it to be maintenance free like the aluminium or non-stick cookwares. Maintenance is also not so cumbersome. Season it properly then you can use it for lifetime. Once you get it clean it thoroughly with soap water and a scrubber. Wipe it off and apply oil on the whole surface. Heat it in low flames till you get fumes. For the first use fry some onions till they become golden brown. Discard the onion and the tawa is ready for use. 12 inch is really big. For our normal homes the gas stove cannot heat up all the edges of the tawa. So go for 12 inc only when you have a big stove otherwise 10 inch is good enough for small families.

Not Good. Cast Iron dosa tawa brake into two parts while making dosa. Tawa was used only three months from the date of delivery. That's why I have booked a new NSDT28 on 6th October 2025.

It's really good.. Been using for about 3 months.. Being a beginner it was good product. N with lil practice u learn d tips n tricks in tym. Coz everyone technique is different. Burner flame is high in middle so I just adjust it while cooking... Rest is all fine... Really non stick n easy to use

Dosas don't stick to the pan so it does the job. However, its surface has really tiny peaks and valleys where sometimes food can get stuck and since you're supposed to apply detergent, it can be really hard to clean. I get the Teflon coating is bad in normal non-stick utensils but if using this creates hygiene issues, I am not sure if its worth the extra effort and money.

I followed the instructions with the tawa twice before I put the tawa to use. The first step was to heat the tawa.. It takes appox 7 minutes for the tawa to heat up well on a gas stove. Then after oil and onion fry to ashes is a real smoky process. Tawa was sticky after this. I did not wash with soap. When I tried... even the first dosa did not stick. Trouble is to get a uniform golden crisp dosa. This is because the central portion is receiving the maximum heat. Slow heating leads to better heating but you can't match the restaurants. As for the tawa thickness... the vivible edge is appox 5-6 mm, but the tawa itself is appox 3-4 mm thick.. the edge includes the curb to retain the batter on it.

I used it the day it was delivered, followed instructions like first washed with dishwashing soap then roasted salt with a drop of oil for few minutes on low flame and cleaned tawa with plain water again applied little oil n heated tawa on a low flame, once its very hot sprinkled water and wiped off the oil with a kitchen towel. Made dosas, they came out crispy n yummy. Highly recommend!

tava is good but fails expectations of getting that perfect plain dosa at home since we use gas stoves heat gets higher at the centre and dosa is not properly cooked due to this reason. but if u have better heat supply then must buy

Good quality

This item looks promising as the first use itself was easy and dosa’s dint stick to the surface

Follow the process of seasoning properly and all your dosas will be perfectly non-sticky...

Super product, seasoned it as per instructions and wonderful stuff got made on it.
