Soft, round appe with a crisp edge are easier to make when each one has its own pit. The Bergner Eco Cast Iron Appam Patra has 12 pits and a cast iron body, and our listing states it is compatible with induction cooktops. Use it for appe, paniyaram and other bite-sized snacks made with batter, cooked in batches of twelve with a little oil in each pit.
Cast iron holds heat well, which helps the outside of each appe turn golden while the inside stays soft. Season the patra with a little oil before first use if it is not pre-seasoned, and heat it on a low to medium setting. Let it cool before washing, clean the pits with a soft brush, dry it fully and wipe on a thin coat of oil. Do not soak it or put it in the dishwasher.

Twelve pits cook a full round of appe or paniyaram at once, which suits a family snack, a tea-time spread or a small gathering without cooking in many rounds.
Cast iron holds heat well once it is hot, so each pit browns on the outside while the batter cooks through. Let the patra heat up before adding batter.
Our listing states that this appam patra is compatible with induction cooktops. If you cook on gas, please ask our team to confirm before you order.
Use it for savoury appe from dosa or idli batter, vegetable and rava versions, or sweet paniyaram. A small amount of oil in each pit is usually enough.
Season it with a thin layer of oil if it is not pre-seasoned, clean the pits with a soft brush, dry it fully, and store it in a dry place to prevent rust.
