Indian Soapstone Tawa – Small

Description

Although normally made of cast iron or aluminum, these special Tawas made in North Tamil Nadu, are made from soapstone. Not to be confused with stoneware, which is a kind of clay fired at high temperature, these soapstone Tawas are actually handcrafted from a single block of natural, non-toxic soap stone which allows them to withstand high temperatures and stays hot for a very long time. The beautiful stone also makes for a stunning and exotic presentation.

It is very important to properly cure a soapstone following the instructions carefully. If not properly cured, the stone may crack during use. See the tab on curing for instructions..

Tawas are used to prepare all kinds of roti or Indian breads ranging from Chapatis and Parathas to Dosas and Cheelas.
