Hawkins Futura 2.5 Litre Deep Fry Pan, Hard Anodised Kadai with Stainless Steel Lid, Flat Bottom Induction Kadhai, Black (IAD25S)

Super product... I like it well... Godd finishing and material... Get the product on 11 april... Will update the review after use...

Good product

The media could not be loaded. I purchased 30 cm , 3.75 L with steel lid. I was thinking that it is very costly and i am investing lot of money. But the kadhai has a truly premium quality and it's very heavy & sturdy. Vessels of this quality will last for generations. No doubt it will last for years. The wooden handle looks great, the vessells heats well on Induction stove as well. The lid fits properly and serves the purpose.Please find the video attached where i show cooking with this vessell on Prestige Induction stove.@Amazon - the packaging 📦 was not proper. It's was broken and look very bad. The item was sent with the original box itself in a damage condition. Please correct this.

Last buy was a year back. This was our second purchase of the same Futura Hard Anodized Deep Fry Pan of 3.75L capacity. First one I purchased without the lid option and second one with lid. Second one was purchased after around a year of use of the first one and we were very happy with the quality and utility of this pan in our kitchen. So overall using the product for more than 2 years.Both the pans have lived up to its brand image and quality we would expect after spending this much money.The pan is not damaged in any way other than minor wear and tear. We use stainless steel ladles and pan has not been scratched or stained in any way.The handles have stayed intact and have stayed tight as they were on a new product.Stainless steel lid fits perfectly and has a nice wooden handle for lifting. Side handles are also wooden (wood attached to metal). So non of the handles will feel hot while cooking or lifting the lid or pan after cooking. The wooden handle on lid showing slight movement now but it is not coming out.Material is thick and heavy so items not get burned easily which happens some times when a thin steel pan is used.Ofcourse it takes a little longer for the pan to get hot compared to a thinner vessel.About Hard-Anodized Aluminum -Anodization is an electro chemical process when subjected to the surface of aluminum vessels, builds up the metal's natural coating of oxide.which results in a hard, nonreactive substance that forms a tough coating. This anodized aluminum cooking surface is very tough, non-sticky and scratch-resistant and also easy to clean. Anodization changes the microscopic structure of metal surface and that layer does not get peeled like in what happens in case of Teflon coated utensils. So hard anodized utensils although not as non sticky as Teflon coated ones are typically longer lasting.Overall very happy with the purchase and would recommend it to any one looking for a good cooking and frying pan/kadai for their kitchen.Update - these Hawkins hard anodized units are going strong after more than two year of daily use for the two units. The surface finish, handles and SS lids have all worked well and no problem faced. Pictures added are after long term use.Thanks to Hawkins on living upto the quality expectations.

Writing review after using this for almost a year. Too good product which lasts forever i guess. It is not non stick but doesnt stick very easily. Feels great to cook side dishes or mix rice varieties etc. Handle is also super as it does not get heated up at all. Very sturdy kadai and also easy to clean if you soak it for some time.

Got the product in Good conditionas it was mentioned anodised, it isEasy to cleanLil bit heavyNo spatula

Simply awesome. It's a perfect purchase.

If you are trying to cook anything (that is not frying in lots of oil) the ingredients tend to stick to the surface - like ginger garlic paste or eggs. Then it is difficult to scrub off the sticky food using a high quality scrubber like scotch brite and equally good dish cleaner.I have hard anodized utensils of other brands too and this one turned out to be the worst.
