Fantastic product. But of course know and respect you are getting cast iron tawa
Its an amazing product. Before you choose a cast iron tawa, there are many options available so make sure the tawa surface is not polished/machined. If it is machined it will not work properly for many many times. I experienced this long back with my old no-brand tawa. So I chose this tawa since its surface is coarse almost like sand blasted, which is ideal for dosa. 2nd choose the handle mould is thick. Dont buy tawas with thin handle mould. It can easily break. So again another reason why I chose this vs others.
See case iron is brittle almost like ceramic. So handle and maintain with care. Of course it is iron, iron will rust immediately. It should be immediate if you live in coastal regions such as Chennai/Mumbai etc. So make sure you oil it front, back, handles and keep a tiny coat of oil always.
Of course you have to first season before use. (refer many youtube videos). But even after seasoning first 3-5 dosas, keep putting and disposing. Since they do not come initially well. But eventually you should see it works amazing. It is what you are paying for. It is a quality of cast iron. Respect its a direct quality of "Shani" (astrology) as Iron is his element. So lot of delays eventually you get its fruits.
Maintenance:
Once you are done with initial use. Just wash the warm tawa with running tap water and once cold put it inside a plastic/paper bag and store it safe. DO NOT SOAP WASH frequently, else you have to start once again seasoning, disposing few dosas.
So if you are buying any brand cast iron, you just first think and commit yourself. Its not like non-stick tawa, where it works fantastic for first 1 year, later it never works. Its a Rahu's energy(astrology). Its fake, pretends to be working eventually its just for short-term.
Once when you buy always check for any defects and cracks. If you find any issues return/replace.
Hope this helps your buying decision :)
