HAWKINSFutura Nonstick Kadhai 2.5 L, 26 cm, 3.25 mm with SS lid (Black)

It does the job it is meant for unlike all other nonstick pots and pans I have ever purchased. Best! Worth buying!

It's very good so far. I got it only recently. Hope it continues to live upto expectations

Simple and Handy. Good for cooking Indian foods like Puri, Vada, Savories, etc.,If the base is made slightly flat instead of spherical, it would have been still better to rest over the stove. Now this is little shaky due to spherical pointed base.

I bought the 4 liter non stick Futura Q57 kadhai (wok). the thickness of this wok is pretty good and is a heavy wok. This is the kadhai that I have been looking for years in American stores and couldn’t find. This is an absolutely perfect wok to deep fry or to make curries for 4-6 people. I have Aloo Matar, Kheema Matar, Fish curries, Cauliflower curry, etc and it was a joy to cook with this wok. The round bottom is its specialty which helps in cooking with leas oil, because the oil just spreads out from the sides, as you add the ingredients and it fries ir sautés evenly! Just love it... this is perfect if you want to make curries!

I really like it but it is very small..

The pan is designed in the traditional "kadhai" style, with a round bottom. I'm glad Hawkins brand is available to purchase in the USA. It's a major utensil brand India and their quality is top notch. The build quality of this pan is exceptional and the hard anodized non-stick coating, excellent. The lid is very useful for cooking covered. I use this pan for heavy duty Indian cooking several times a week and not a scratch in the last three months of use. For comparison, I had also bought a Tramontina (Made in USA) brand frying pan (flat) which started getting scratches within the first month.A couple of minor issues to be aware of: The round bottom design may cause a balancing problem with flat surface cook tops (it does for me). It can be easily overcome by gripping the handle while stirring.The plastic handle gets warm while cooking in high heat, again easily solved by gripping with a small towel.Despite these issues, I would highly recommend this product to anyone who cooks Indian food, or for heavy duty cooking in general. I will certainly buy again.

Simply not worth the money.

Love this for its multi-functional use in my house. Being from India, I use this almost every day and has been my favorite since I have bought it. It is also very easy to clean--just make sure to clean it well after each use so it stays in good condition.
