Pigeon by Stovekraft Wonder cast Aluminium Flat Tawa (Black, 27cm)

Considering the price factor, this is a good product otherwise I would say an average make product.

Pros:
1) Low price factor (I got it for Rs. 577)
2) Good looks in first glance
3) Good handle
4) Spiral grooved bottom

Cons:
1) Close examination reveals some minor scratch and not so good quality non stick (might shred away on long use)
2) Heating is NOT even; Check the image i’ve attached (water boils more in middle in my test. Hawkins futura you can bet of even heating)
3) Non stick property and quality of non stick, I would give 70% when compared with hawkins futura, for which i would give 99%!

Personal feel:
If you are bound with price factor, then this is a good buy. But for a quality conscious buyer who looks for no compromise in quality both in make and non stick coating, go for Hawkins futura which has non anodized aluminum coated with non stick. But on on the other hand, there is almost 50-70% difference in price factor when compared with pigeon. Marking this 3 star since MRP of product is 900Approx which I personally feel not at all worth. I would also love to give 4 star here in my case as I got it for a discount price of 577 which could be a value of no complain!

Very good product, value for money

The dosa not only comes out effortlessly on its own, but the heavy base allows us to cook it till it’s nice and crispy, exactly like the restaurant ones, without being burnt , as happens in some similarly priced brands. And guys this is my second time buying this company’s dosa tawa…last one lasted me for good seven years or more when I used it exclusively for dosas only.

We had earlier purchased this same item a few years ago and it gave us very good service. Seeing the quality of the material and the non-stick coating, we decided to purchase another one to replace the old and ageing tawa. The new one we received did not last even 4 months before the non-stick coating started peeling off.

If the company or dealer wants to blame us the user, regarding mis-handling the tawa, please read the first sentence where I state that we had used an earlier piece of the same model very happily for many years. If the user handling has not changed between the old and the new tawa there can be only one thing else… the quality of the product that could have changed.

Now we come to the service part… I went to their website and got their Whatsapp number. I sent them a message onm Whatsapp only to get a robot reply. When I persisted it said… Forwarding to agent. The agent was probably a slightly advanced model of the earlier robot which asked me details of the product and directed me to a website for list of service points. When I looked up the service points, the nearest one was 20kms away and the phone is disconnected. The second nearest one is 50kms away. When I tried to contact support on Whatsapp again, the Robot and his Dad woke up and started spewing the same old recorded messages again. Thanks Stovekraft, you have convinced me never to consider your products ever again.

I have been using since last 2 months, good product
