Key Features
- Superior Heat Distribution: Thick-gauge aluminum or cast iron ensures heat is distributed evenly across the surface, eliminating "hot spots" that burn your flatbread.

- Sturdy Riveted Handles: Often equipped with heavy-duty metal or heat-resistant Bakelite handles for a secure, safe grip while flipping.
- Natural or Coated Surface: Available in classic raw aluminum that seasons over time or modern non-stick surfaces for oil-free cooking.
- Versatile Kitchen Tool: Ideal for chapatis, rotis, crepes, pancakes, omelets, and even sautéing vegetables.
How to Use & Care
- Seasoning (For Raw Pans): Before the first use, wash the pan with mild soap and dry it completely. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil and heat it until it smokes slightly to create a natural, non-stick patina.
- Cooking Tip: Always preheat the pan on medium heat for 2–3 minutes before placing your dough to ensure a perfect puff and golden-brown spots.
- Cleaning: Hand-wash only with a soft sponge. For non-stick pans, avoid abrasive steel wool which can scratch the coating.
- Storage: Towel-dry immediately after washing to prevent moisture corrosion. Store with a paper towel between stacked pans to protect the surface.
