Futura Non-Stick Appachatty Breakfast Pan with Stainless Steel Lid 8.66 IN

I love this. I have been searching for this for a long time. Happy that I found it here. Makes beautiful yummy Appams! 100% RECOMMEND IT!

I have been looking arnd for a aapa chatty for a long time and when I came across this I was not sure if I had to spend 40 bucks on this . But I swear by futura .. whenever I go to India I wld come back with futura products ... I love them ..There were a few cotherboptions which I considered buying but again the handle and the coated nails made me choose this and the appams turned out perfectly .. it is a good buy .. but if u r planning to go to India do get it from India and save almost had the money ..Love futura

I purchased a product with a lid and received one without a lid. I haven’t used it yet. It looks good, just doesn’t have the expected lid.

Just what I was looking for! It is perfect for making Appam to go with Kerala stew. It came nicely packaged with a wooden spatula and a teflon scrunchy for cleaning it without scratching the nonstick coating. It is a small pan (22cm/8.6" in diameter, 3.25mm thick and holds .9 liter) but makes appam that fit a dinner plate (see photo). The screws on the inside of the pan are also coated in the nonstick coating so you can use the whole pan. It even comes with an instruction manual for how to care for the pan and some recipes. Attached are photos of the inside of the pan with the extras, back of pan, and first appam in new pan. I have made egg crepes in the pan and they also release perfectly. The pan should work well for hoppers too. I used a gas stove top with low med heat. It does not work on induction - tried it. The bottom of the pan is lightly rounded, so you may have to watch for a hot spot if using on an electric stove top. didn't try that yet.

Hoppers, a basket shaped crepe is famous in Sri Lanka although its origin is from India.Appachatty/ Breakfast pan is a misnomer. It is specifically a South Indian term. In Sri Lanka it is known as a 'Hopper Pan' or 'Appa-hatty'. Renaming it as Hopper-pan / Appa chatty would be useful to non-Indians who search for the product.Having tried many non-stick hopper pans of Indian brands, I decided to get the Futura [from Hawkins] on Amazon.The handles which stick out do not get heated like with other pans.The quality of metal and coating used is superior to any other brand.The brand speaks for itself.

Wooden stay-cool handless very helpful.

I like the Appachetty pan. The only issues were the small size because of which the handles get hot. Other than that the product is good for the price!

Very useful, only defect is that the handle gets hot quickly.
