Cast Iron Shallow Tawa 11 inch (27.8 cm), Raised Edge – Super Smooth, Pre-Seasoned

A 11 inch (27.8 cm) cast iron tawa with a low raised edge – also called a shallow tawa, adakkal or pizza pan. The rim keeps thick batter and oil on the pan, so it is made for uttapam, adai and shallow frying. Two side handles make it easy to lift.

Why cooks choose it

• Super smooth machined surface – batter spreads evenly and food releases cleanly, unlike the rough cast surface of most iron tawas.
• Pre-seasoned with organic sesame oil – rinse, wipe dry, oil lightly and start cooking.
• 100% natural cast iron – no chemical non-stick coating to scratch, chip or peel.
• Even, lasting heat – the heavy base holds its temperature, so the last dosa browns like the first.
• Lifetime warranty – made in India by AVM, kitchenware makers since 1969. Saffronware is AVM's cast iron brand.

What to cook

Uttapam, adai, neer dosa, set dosa, kal dosai, omelettes, cutlets, shallow-fried fish and pan pizza.

Is 11 inch the right size?

11 inch is the family size: room for a large uttapam or neer dosa, and enough space to shallow fry cutlets in one batch.

Good to know

Is it non-stick? It is naturally non-stick once seasoned. The seasoning gets better every time you cook with a little oil.

How do I look after it? Wash with water and a soft scrub, dry it on a low flame and wipe on a few drops of oil. Avoid the dishwasher and soaking. The full care guide is below.
