Very easy to use and heats Faster..

Heavy and good quality product

Don’t know why they made this on induction. Doest stay flat on induction as handle weight is heavy. Quality is good but practically not able to stay balanced on induction or gas stove. U know to hold hand on handle to keep it balanced.

The tadka pan doesn't balance on the burner. Keeps toppling as the handle is too long . Any ideas how to balance it ?

Does the job, exactly as advertised.

I’ve been using this Hawkins 1.5 Tadka Pan for more than a year now, and it has been absolutely fantastic. The build quality is solid, durable, and feels premium—exactly what you expect from Hawkins Cookers. For those unfamiliar, tadka (also called tempering) is an Indian cooking technique where spices like mustard seeds, cumin, garlic, chilies, etc. are heated in oil or ghee and then poured over dishes like lentils (dal), curries, rice, or vegetables to enhance flavor. This pan is perfect for that purpose because it heats evenly and handles high temperatures very well. What I really like is that this pan is not limited to just tadka—you can also cook small portions of food, sauces, or quick stir-fries in it. It’s strong, well-balanced, and easy to handle. I clean it regularly and use it almost every day, and it still looks and performs like new. If you’re looking for a reliable, long-lasting pan for Indian cooking—or even for general small-quantity cooking—this is one of the best options out there. Highly recommended.

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.

Necessity for every kitchen where Indian dishes are made.
