The Fig Tawa 27cm is a slightly larger version of the tawa, designed for those who need a bit more cooking surface for larger meals. Here’s a detailed look at its specifications, uses, and advantages:
Specifications:
- Diameter: 27 cm – This size provides a larger cooking area, ideal for making larger portions of flatbreads, pancakes, or other dishes, making it suitable for medium to large families or those who like to cook in bigger batches.
- Material: Typically aluminum or cast iron, though some may feature a non-stick coating. These materials provide even heat distribution and help with cooking food uniformly.
- Shape: Round with slightly raised edges to contain food and prevent spillage while cooking.
- Handle: Usually designed with a heat-resistant, sturdy handle for safe handling while cooking.
- Non-stick Coating (optional): Some versions come with a non-stick surface, which makes cooking with less oil possible and helps with easier cleanup.
Uses:
- Making Flatbreads (Roti, Chapati, Paratha): The 27 cm size offers plenty of room to cook larger flatbreads, making it perfect for bigger families or batch cooking.
- Tawa Fry: Great for shallow frying vegetables, potatoes, or meats. This is ideal for making dishes like tawa sabzi or tawa fry.
- Pancakes and Crepes: A larger tawa makes it easier to cook multiple pancakes or crepes at once, which is great for breakfast or brunch.
- Egg Dishes: Perfect for making omelets, egg bhurji, or even frying eggs, thanks to its large, even surface area.
- Grilling and Searing: You can use it to grill vegetables, meats, or even sear items like fish or chicken fillets.
- South Indian Dishes: The larger tawa is excellent for cooking dosas, uttapams, and other South Indian specialties.
- Naan or Tortilla Heating: Perfect for warming or lightly toasting naan or tortillas.
Advantages:
- Larger Cooking Surface: The 27 cm size provides ample space to cook larger quantities, making it ideal for bigger families or batch cooking.
- Even Heat Distribution: Whether made from aluminum or cast iron, the tawa ensures even heat distribution, preventing food from being cooked unevenly or burning.
- Durability: If made from cast iron, the tawa is very durable and can last for years. Even aluminum tawas are sturdy and resistant to wear and tear.
- Versatile: From roti to dosa, paratha, egg dishes, and even tawa fry, this tawa can handle a variety of cooking needs.
- Healthier Cooking: If you choose a non-stick version, you can cook with less oil, making meals healthier without compromising on taste.
- Easy to Clean: Non-stick versions are easier to clean, while cast iron requires a bit more maintenance, but both types are generally easy to care for with the right cleaning methods.
- Time-Efficient: With a larger cooking surface, you can cook more food in a single batch, which helps save time, especially during meal prep.
- Space Efficient: While larger than smaller tawas, the 27 cm tawa still fits comfortably in most kitchens without taking up too much storage space, especially compared to larger cookware like skillets or griddles.
Care and Maintenance:
- Non-stick version: Use wooden or silicone spatulas to prevent scratching the non-stick surface. Clean with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Avoid using metal utensils, which can damage the non-stick coating.
- Cast Iron version: After cooking, clean with warm water and a non-abrasive brush to remove food residue. Dry the tawa immediately to prevent rusting and apply a thin layer of oil to maintain its seasoning.
- Avoid High Heat: For non-stick versions, avoid cooking on very high heat, as excessive temperature can damage the coating.
- Regular Seasoning (for Cast Iron): For a cast iron tawa, apply a thin layer of cooking oil after each cleaning to keep the seasoning intact and prevent rust.
- Storage: Store in a dry place, especially if it’s cast iron, to prevent moisture buildup and rust. Avoid stacking heavy items on top if it’s a non-stick version to protect the coating.
