Just bought a Tawa
« on: March 31, 2014, 10:10 PM »
Can't remember where I posted a question regarding the type of tawa to buy but I did visit my local Asian store only to be presented with what looked like a pile of rusty pans.
This put me off and I continued using my standard frying pan for making naan bread (Happyeater chris)

Anyway I bit the bullet and purchased a tawa from the same shop choosing between the non stick variety and the 'rusty' steel type which was piled up.
The man at the counter said that the 'rusty' one was the best and handed over

What's the best way to care for these iron tawas? Brillo pad before & after use? Should they be oiled for storage?

I've never found the need to oil to be honest mate. Had to give it a good scorching before using, to burn off any (moderated) on the surface, then a good scrub afterwards. After that.....I haven't had any issues.

Thanks garp. Smells like it has a machine oil coating as supplied. Think it might be worth a quick wipe with some veggie oil after scrubbing

I gave mine a good going over with a brillo to get rid of the machine oil then seasoned it three times.  Now works a treat

I really keep meaning to get one of these cast-iron tawas. For some inexplicable reason, I keep putting myself off the idea. Must rectify that persistent omission.
