How is this tava or pan for making roti/chapati ? i am looking for a pan for cooking roti most of the time and occasionally some dosa?

Quality not good , scratching on non stick coating after one use . Don't buy

This tava is great! I suggest that you use different tavas for roti and dosa/paratha - it is much better that way

It's non stick so i won't recommend any nonstick for roti . Dosa definitely .. Always prefer a regular pan for roti as the flour and oil in the rotis really damage the nonstick coating .

That said for dosas ... Crepes .. Frozen parathas .. Even bombay toasts this pan is great .. I use this for dosas and the regular anodized futura pan for dosas and rotis too .. Dosas don't stick on the regular pan either if u make sure to heat it first and grease it with some oil and splash with a few drops of water just before ladling the batter on the pan ..

I find it difficult to manage the temperature. It burns very easily. If you use it often enough I would imagine you can eventually get it right.

Its very good for it. Its only drawback is that it cannot be washed in a dishwasher (the non-stick coating gradually peels off if you do so) - its needs to be hand washed.

I'm no tortilla expert, and i'm looking for a new press as my aluminum one is a joke i have to use a rolling pin , but honest the best thing i've found is mix very warm to hot not boiling water with a pinch of salt and add this to the masa flour. Then knead and let it rest. The longer your masa sits the better it gets. If i try to make a tortilla just after mixing they crack while cooking. Just give it thirty minutes to an hour, then go back it should work out well. Good luck!

Cast Iron is actually recommended for Dosa. My best guess would be that you did not pre heat the skillet long enough before putting in Dosa. skillet must be hot before putting Dosa in. 2nd. guess maybe not enough oil in skillet before putting in Dosa. Make sure both of these suggestions are met and try again. heat skillet to medium temp. for several minutes. drop a drop of product into skillet. if bubbles form around and it sizzles it is hot enough to cook. if not, wait longer and try another drop of product..

I am not exactly sure....it works well for me in the US where my stove uses public gas...don't worry, your roti, nan, puri will come out well. For domestic cooking it is great.

This is a very good flat bottom wok. I have used it several times on high heat with no problems cleaning it afterwards. I use Bar Keepers Friend for tough burns. I suggest you heat the pan first before adding oil. Stainless steel has pores that shrink when heating. Making the pan less likely to stick.

No, it is not. It is a high-grade pan, and is the best dosa pan I've ever used. Since you will be using oil to make a bunch of dosas, you want to hand wash it with warm water and gentle soap. This way, the pan will last a lot longer. Hope this is helpful.

Yes, it has nonstick surface on the inside. I am guessing you want to make rotis. I usually press for the flat round rotis and transfer them to a tava. Because it does not puff up like you want the rotis to.

It has worked fine for me, I have had it for almost exactly a year now. I've used it to make the usual things - idly and dosa batter, chutney, sambar etc. I don't use it everyday, only once in a few days, sometimes once a week.

The press is extremely well built and should be sturdy enough for Rotis. I would recommend using wax paper on both sides to keep the Rotis from sticking to the press.

Thanks for posting this question. I've used & liked T-Fal frying pans for a while, which have always been perfectly flat. The one at my mom's house, however, has that hump in the center, which drives me insane! The hump makes it IMPOSSIBLE to actually saute or fry something in oil or ghee. I thought the pan was warped, so was looking for a replacement. If I bought this one, I would have jumped out of the frying pan into the fire!!! I see lots of good suggestions posted by others, so I'll be looking into those.

It is excellent as long as you do not go above medium heat and wash the tava with the provided scrubber. This will avoid the baked on black gunk that accumulates on the tava. I have owned it for 3 months now and the tava still looks new. Also, avoid leaving the tava without food on the stove for more than few minutes.

Personally, I use it almost exclusively for large batches of spaghetti sauce and Italian sausage or meat sauce and I let it simmer for hours. I gently stir every half hour as usual, but no problems with anything I cook. This is my third Tramontina. Have an 18 qt., 20 qt, and now this 24 qt. This is my preferred brand for mass cooking soups, sauces, chili. I love it! I hope this helps. :-)

I have been using it for the past 3 months. I run it daily to grind spices and run it once or twice a week to make idli/dosa batter. No problems so far.

Its perfect for oil pans but be sure to clean thoroughly and then degrease a couple of times with a solvent. Just like any other RTV, it can't stick in the first place if its still oily.

I would say that yours is flawed. I have been so happy with mine that I'd be surprised if you were treated less than graciously by the seller. The total non-stickedness of this pan is part of what makes it great. Get a good one.

I've used it extensively as a kadhai for Indian cooking and it works wonderfully for that, though I haven't tried it for deep-frying.

I have used it many times for baking and braising even an higher temps and the pan does great! I have never had a problem with this pan and use is almost daily for just about everything. I have also used on by bbq grill for sauces and veggies. Get this pan, you won't be sorry :)
