Hawkins 1.5 Cup Tadka Pan, 360 ml Triply Stainless Steel Pan, Induction Pan, Silver (STP15)

I was so pleased with the quality and weight of this little pan. I was unsure how successful it would be on my induction hob but from the very small base it heats up the side of the pan without overheating the long handle. The steel is thick and once to temperature retains the heat for long enough to fry my spices. The finish is beautiful and after washing it looks brand new. I'm looking forward to making little round fluffy omelettes in it from a recipe I saw on YouTube, Curries with Bumbi is the channel which is where I saw a similar pan. I hope it's ok to recommend a YouTube channel on here, because anybody learning about curries would love Bumbi and her recipes.

Very well made and excellent quality. Worthwhile purchase.

A well-made piece of cookware, perfect for frying mustard seeds and other elements of tempering for curries, with a strong and long handle. I was concerned that, with a small base, it might not work on my induction hob but it heats up fine. My one frustration is that it does not sit on my induction hob - it tips unless you hold it. The manufacturer's label states that models with a support are a fire risk as they may be left on the cooker, so better to hold it while preparing the temper. However, it is hard to drop in different spices at different stages with one hand only. I prop mine up with a little pot to keep my hands free while adding spices. Certainly one should not move away while preparing the temper, so this is just for the brief time during which different items are added. (As the whole pan is quite low, even if it did tip it is at a low angle and isn't likely to spill the contents, though it would lose contact with the induction surface.) Nevertheless, the quality of the Hawkins tadka pan is excellent and the size is just right for its purpose.

Strong and well made, will probably last forever. Works as expected.

Very good build quality

This has really elevated my tarka game to new heights!! It's quite sturdy, really good quality and with a handle that doesn't let high temperatures affect it. Quite easy to clean too!

I love this pan and use it every single day. I like that it is compact. This doesn't have the stand design intentionally so that you have to hold it, but I know it is not practical in daily busy life. But nothing that can't be dealt with in the kitchen. I just just rest it on the near by plate or cup and even if I don't it just stands an angle. Since i only use less than half of capacity for tadka, I am not worried. The bottom is thick and the whole thing heavier than you usual aluminum tadka pan. I have gas range and it does take a a minute longer to hear the oil because of how thick it is. But you can tell that is sturdy and you don't have to worry about replacing this for a long time, because there is no coating to chip off. Finally and very importantly, this can go in the dishwasher, but the other black ones can't. So, I would definitely recommend it.

Good quality
