Suggestions for cast iron tawa for making dosa

🤔

Does it smell bad if not washed with soap?

Why would it smell bad if you clean all the leftover material using warm water and sponge? 😀

Lol just thought the whole masala and oil would start sticking to it if not cleaned properly with soap.

Good to know it doesn't smell 😛

the above video is pretty cool. if you pre-heat it enough and wash it while it is warm... and the coating is good. washing it is a piece of cake. warm water with a soft scrub. the video suggest using salt for scrubbing leftover material sticking to the surface.

from my experience, it takes a bit of experience. it is not simple to use as non-stick cookware which basically just works as long as the non-stick coating is not damaged. but with cast iron, you have the ability to fix the coating if you manage to damage it and keep using it for years. this is not possible with non stick cookware.

also. in the end it is iron so it rusts. so you have to make sure that you do not leave it wet after cleaning. this is where the oil helps. this also means that cast iron is basically not a good option if you want to cook without oil. a well managed cast iron skillet is basically quite non sticky. but in my experience, there is no way you can cook on it without using oil. and a lot of it.

CanOLA is an acroname of Canadian Oil Low Acid. It is made from GM Rapeseed with lowered Erucic Acid content. Long term consumption of erucic acid leads to several health complications. Rapeseed oil is better avoided.

If people make chholey bhaturey in Soy or be it Canola, both will be equally harmful. It's more about the cooking habits.

About Canola having 'euric acid':

Scientists in Canada developed an edible version of the rapeseed plant, which — on its own — harbors toxic compounds called erucic acid and glucosinolates. The name “canola” comes from “Canada” and “ola,” denoting oil.

Although the canola plant looks identical to the rapeseed plant, it contains different nutrients and its oil is safe for human consumption.

Never saw this thread before. brought heavy one from local road side guy for 350 during udaipur trip. normal big size tawa but little deeper from center. guy tested with his magnet.

turned black from silver after 4-5 chapatti rounds. didn't know this seasoning concept before. now its my tawa to go for all keto cooking.

Solimo Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Dosa Tawa

I also ordered this, this week. Does not work well for omellete because egg liquid is less dense so it spreads out unevenly with two eggs. Next Dosa day is tuesday next week. Would see if Dosa works out better on this. However, I did end up making rotis on this. Works fine though you need to keep another burner on for fulaoing the fulka because you cannot really lift it up to do that lol.

Hmm.. No handle with this one? Not that we intend to lift it while cooking but it would have been better to give in case if we move it from one burner to other.
How much did it cost you?

Any good chef knife to recommend?
I am confused between cartini n Solimo.
inclined towards solimo due to sharpener combo.
