Rock Tawa 11 Inch Kadhai (Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron) Black

We are family of four and find this very big. It's good for having guests and fir families with 7 or 8 members. Quality is topclass and finishing is superb. It's very heavy. One thing we did is se bought 7.5 Inches and 9.0 inches kadhai of same brand and both of them are excellent. Even they are very heavy. Keep in mind the size. This is too big for family of 4 or 5. You should go with 9 inches. Even 9 inches kadhai is sufficiently big. Good products this company makes.

A Product of great quality, easy to clean, very good in cooking vegetables etc. My mother just loves it. The iron comes out of it as an essence in the food u cook is also amazing, it will give u a nice taste and color to ur vegetables as well. Only one thing which may bug ppl is it's heaviness, the kadhai is more than 3 kgs not very easy to lift but it's worth it.

Pretty good at that price point.strong build and quality however the bottom should have been slightly flatter. Now have tried both non veg and veg dishes and I must say that the flavour is awesome. Washing is a breeze and not difficult at all. Key is to season it properly once you get it and after every use wash with water and your hands. Use washing liquid only if you must. I used liquid soap only for the first time wash. After that the non stick effect is doing the needful. The company needs to improve the structure of the product minor tweaks will work wonders. While lodge cast iron cookware quality is very good at this price range this is not bad either. The company should start competing by giving combo sets like set of 3 kadais or complete package 2 skillets, 3 kadais, Dutch oven. Etc. The finishing can be better have a few ruff spots which will be covered with additional seasoning of the kadai. Overall value for money. Just had to get the ruff spots out so sanded the kadai and reseasoned the kadai and it is completely transformed. Have attached the before and after seasoning pics.

Love this karahi .Been meaning to buy one for a while but wasn't sure of how authentic an online cast iron product might be. this one has really satisfied me. although the I have only used a few times so far but I love it already! follow the instructions in seasoning and post cooking care and you are good to go! And yes it is appropriately heavy for its size 👌

Company's name e.g. ROCK is not inscribed on the handles if the kadhai. Just want to know why is this so when in the pictures it's so inscribed in Kadhai handle. Unable to use because of this as there is doubt if this is genuine. Though at the bottom it's inscribed rock Also came is loose pack. But looks sturdy. Three star only for these issues

So far..I m happy with the product..quite heavy n food doesn’t stick...I m taking care of product as mentioned...washing n drying and applying a thin layer of mustard oil..per..seasoned well ..price much lesser than lodge...but haven’t bought lodge after reading reviews of this Kadak..thought to try this before going for lodge..n m happy with my decision...

Firsr ever iron utensils. I bought two items from rock and one from a different seller. I must say this product is simply perfect. Pros: Perfect shape. Not even minor defects. Cons: costly, black color comes out even after boiling multiple times.

I unpacked and used the Rock Tawa Kadai (11") and would recommend this for anyone who wants a cast iron wok. Shipping was as expected and item was minimally but suitably packed. I first cleaned the kadai with mild soap and water but it was not overly greasy or oily from the factory. It has a nice deep copper color as shown in the pictures. I then boiled clean water in it several times to remove any residue from manufacturing and then coated with oil and heated until smoking and repeated twice. I cooked lamb mince on a gas stove and the cast iron worked as expected, the bowl shape allows for easy stirring and the heat seems to rise fairly evenly up the sides. This will work great for stir-fry, soup, deep-fry, simmering gravy, etc. I selected this brand because I thought the flat handles would be easier for storage, as it can sit upside-down on a flat surface. The flat handles also make it easy to pour hot liquid out of the Kadai. The inner diameter is 11" (~28cm) so it will it can be stored upside down on-top of a standard 5L Dutch oven, the lid from the dutch oven fits inside the Kadai and can be used to keep food warm after cooking. I have several Lodge brand cast iron products and the Rock Tawa unit is not finished quite as well, (reason for only 4 stars) but the value for rupee of the Rock Tawa products is very high and I would not hesitate to buy more Rock Tawa products. I much prefer Indian made cast iron over cheaper "non-stick" options typically manufactured in China. The bottom of the Kadai is round so it probably will not work well with a flat induction stove, it would probably work really well for cooking over a fire. I am happy with this purchase and expect the Rock Tawa 11" Kadai will provide many years of fun cooking and great food.
