HAWKINS 2.5 Cup Tadka Pan, 600ml Triply Stainless Steel Pan, Silver (STP25)

Heavy bottomed and does the job, but I wish that it had the indentation to hold it steady on the stove while adding spices.

Great size and safe for large batches or tadka. Evenly distributes heat and cooks evenly. heavy duty. Definitely heavier than 1.5 cup pan but better. Good value for money. Though they only give 5 year warranty but it’s gonna last lifetime. Better than any HexClad

Hawkins and indian brand Excellent quality with 3 mm thickness

I bought two of these pans, one in 1.5 cup and another in 2.5 cup size, and I am very impressed with them. They are made of triply stainless steel, which is strong, heats quickly and evenly, and does not react with food. The pans have a sleek and elegant design that looks premium and classy. They are perfect for making tadka, which is a spice heating technique used in Indian cuisine, but they can also be used for melting butter, reheating small quantities of food, or making sauces. The pans are compatible with gas, electric, and smooth surface non-induction stovetops. The handle is comfortable and stays cool, and the rim is designed for convenient pouring. The pans are also dishwasher safe and easy to clean. These are versatile and durable pans that I use almost every day. I highly recommend them to anyone who loves cooking and wants to add some flavour and spice to their dishes.

It is a very well made Tadka Pan - thick Triply with a pouring lip so the oil/ghee doesn't spill. But, unless you have a tri-ring gas burner - it takes more time to heat on the regular sealed gas burners that are not too close to the grates. I haven't tried it on induction or other electric stoves. Also to balance the pan you have to use a inverted steel katori or something similar so it stays flat. if the end of the handle was bent so that the handle rests on the stove, it would have been better I think. But still I like this pan as it is thick & easy to pour the Tadka. Hawkins is a good brand !!

Excellent item
