FUTURA TADKA PAN BIG

Futura Hard Anodised Tadka Pan – Big, 480 ml (Spice Heating Pan, Code L34)

The Futura Hard Anodised Tadka Pan – Big (480 ml) is the larger variant of Hawkins' Futura tadka pan range — designed for households that prepare tadka in larger quantities, cook for bigger families, or use the tadka pan beyond just spice tempering — for melting butter, reheating small portions, making quick omelettes, or roasting dry spices. Made from hard anodised aluminium at 3.25 mm thick and 12 cm base diameter (same diameter as the Small but deeper capacity at 480 ml / 2 cups), the Big Tadka Pan inherits all the thermal and material advantages of the Futura hard anodised range — non-pitting, non-tarnishing, corrosion-resistant, and thermally efficient. The hard anodised surface heats faster than plain aluminium and holds heat more evenly across the base, ensuring consistently excellent results whether you are tempering mustard seeds or gently melting ghee.

The extra capacity of the Big Tadka Pan makes it the more versatile daily kitchen tool — while the Small (ATP1) is optimised purely for single-dish tadka, the Big version handles larger-volume tadka for multiple dishes in a single preparation, making it particularly useful for homes that cook several vegetables and dal simultaneously or serve a larger family. The stay-cool handle ensures safe single-hand carry and pouring even when the pan is hot. The hard anodised surface is non-toxic, non-reactive, and non-staining, making it compatible with acidic ingredients including tamarind and tomato-based recipes. Suitable for gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen cooktops. Backed by Hawkins' 5-year guarantee.

Key Features

480 ml (2 Cup) — Larger, More Versatile Kitchen Capacity

At 480 ml, the Big Tadka Pan handles larger tadka preparations for multiple dishes in one go, and doubles as a small reheating, butter-melting, or quick-fry vessel — making it the more versatile choice for families cooking 3+ dishes simultaneously.

Hard Anodised Aluminium — 3.25 mm Thick

Hard anodised aluminium at 3.25 mm is tough, corrosion-resistant, and non-pitting — built to last through years of daily high-heat tadka preparation without surface degradation. The dark hard anodised surface absorbs heat faster for quicker tadka tempering.

Thermally Efficient — Consistent, Even Heat

The hard anodised surface heats quickly and distributes heat evenly across the base, preventing hot spots that scorch spices at the centre while the edges remain cooler. Essential for consistent tempering results every time.

Stay-Cool Handle — Comfortable Single-Hand Carry

The stay-cool handle keeps the grip safe during use and pouring. The handle is designed for secure single-hand control throughout the tadka process, even when the pan is fully loaded with hot oil, whole spices, and curry leaves.

Non-Toxic, Non-Reactive Surface — 5-Year Guarantee

The hard anodised surface is non-toxic and non-reactive with all foods, including acidic ingredients. Suitable for gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen stoves. Backed by Hawkins' 5-year Futura cookware guarantee.
