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.

For serious cooks. The 1.5 Hawkins tadka pan is compared to a standard 1 cup measure in my photo to give you an idea of size and scale. I include a photo of the box it came in to show that it is really from India. This is a heavyweight stainless steel pan that is a handsome instrument to have in the kitchen for making tadka. Originally I wanted to just buy a cheap and flimsy model, the kind with a stand or a notch in the handle, but I am very glad I didn't, because the cheap ones are nonstick and I try to avoid Teflon and nonstick coatings. As indicated in the product description. the Hawkins tadka pan is deliberately "unbalanced" so that you MUST hold it at all times over the gas burner ring while you are making tadka. You cannot set it down and walk away as it will tip. This is an intentional and excellent product safety feature to prevent your tadka or stove from catching fire, as you are heating up hot oil in small quantities. The manufacturers recommend handwash only. So far my pan seems fine after being washed in the top rack of a dishwasher.

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.
