Hawkins Futura 2.5 Litre Deep Fry Pan, Long Handle Hard Anodised Kadai with Stainless Steel Lid, Flat Bottom Kadhai, Black (ADL25S)

Great product, perfect size, ergonomic handles, lid is a perfect fit with a knob handle. I have been using it for sautéing vegetables etc. have not used it for deep frying yet. Easy to clean. Using wooden spoons while cooking in this wok. Altogether a great cooking experience.

The Futura line of Hawkins is one of the best product ranges that an established brand has nurtured successfully. This kadhai (deep-fry pan) delivers all that it promises. For customers who want to get out of Teflon, there is no better alternative, in my opinion. The hard metal is easy to clean with regular scrubs. The wide top helps in cooking and serving a dinner party comfortably. The wooden handles and top-cover holders are comfortable, as also presentable. For those worrying that fries may stick, this material helps avoid stickiness, while also not using Teflon. The hard metal avoids scratches and their visibility with aplomb. All in all, a perfect product, and a completely satisfied customer (the wife!).

Good quality and durable.

I've had this for 6 months now and couldn't be happier. I bought it because I was trying to learn to cook some Indian foods and it has served me very well in that capacity. I also use it for stir-fry. Its easy to clean if you put it to soak or clean it right away. The only thing I've seen really stick to it was when I browned some tofu, but I just wont use it for that again. It cleaned up fine, it just had to soak a while. The 3.75l was the perfect size for cooking up 6-8 servings at a time, not too big and not too little. So far the wood handles are holding up good and the anodized surface seems very durable. Very happy I spent a few extra dollars to get this one instead of something cheaper.

This does not work with an induction cook top. Should have tried it out when it was still returnable - now I can only give it away and hope it's at least a decent general pan, but that was an expensive lesson. False advertising.

I waited to write the review to first try and see it for myself.! I am really pleased with this cooking pan.! It is well made, strong and appropriate for most cooking. Heats up well and if you use well nothing sticks to it. You just use a bit of oil or butter and stir it well for sticking-free cooking.! If someone is looking for a better alternative for a nonstick and harmful coating free pan, this is the one to go for.! Overall it's a great buy and I can recommend it with confidence.!

Got it from amazon warehouse deals. It looks as shown and perfect size. I love it. Best for deep frying indian food and making curries too. Food sticks a little at bottom on high heat as normal kadai, but its easy to clean. The wood handles look so good and are very helpful.2.5L induction - 10.5 inches on top, 6 inches on bottom. flat bottom. wooden handles.

I really wanted to like this good looking pan. As soon as I got it, I stir fried eggplant in it. I have stir fried eggplant in a Calphalon wok as well as in an All-Clad HA1 pan with great results, especially the HA1 pan. This pan does not even come close. I am really disappointed.
