Hawkins Futura Hard Anodised Deep-Fry Pan 3.75 L, 30 cm, 4.06 mm with SS Lid and Induction Compatible Base

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.

My review after a month of using it. First of all this is not a non stick product. If ur looking for nonstick thereis a same model one available pls go for it. It’s of the right size, sturdy material and great build. Comes with a flat bottom and perfect for deep frying, puris vadas etc. Perfect for ur curries and stir frying of certain vegetables too. But it’s a big no for stir frying the following: Potato fries Lady’s finger stir fry Upma and even poha. It will definitely stick. For these a nonstick kadai is better anyway. The price is definitely on the higher side but it makes for the unique design, quality and build. It’s of good thickness neither too heavy nor flimsy like cheap nonstick pans. Hope it comes by for quite a good period of time.

Very good product

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.

Amazing;lightweight;metal friendly ;sturdy handles and flat bottom is a plus !

The packaging of the product was not good only hawkins packing there was no amazon repacking as the product is solid and good quality one so no damage found during delivery.The kadai seems to be of great build quality and long lasting as this is satilon hard anodized coated which is better than Teflon coated ones. As mentioned in manual the kadai should be washed in hot water not in cold water after usage for long life and less soap required while washing ,Wooden handles are so thermal proof they don't heat at all while cooking. Size is bigger than I expected can easily cook food for 5 to 6 people not for smaller curries and little heavy but that's not a problem.It cooks food well in less oil and no burning of food so no nutrition is lost and taste better.The price seems no difference as the MRP written is 1800Rs and I purchased in 1665Rs save 135 Rs and free hawkins recipe book worth 25Rs

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.

Food sticks to the bottom.
