Hawkins Triply Paratha Tava 26cm – Shielded Non-Stick with Rosewood Handle (NSPT26)
For families that need a little more room on the tava, the Hawkins NSPT26 brings the same trusted triply construction in a generous 26cm size — ideal for making larger parathas, multiple rotis, or family-sized batches of dosas without crowding the pan. The Shielded Non-Stick surface, with its honeycomb of stainless steel ridges over the non-stick coating, means metal spatulas are completely fair game, even on this larger cooking area.
Reviewers describe this tava as a genuine upgrade to their daily cooking — premium-feeling steel, even heat distribution that produces consistently golden parathas, and a build quality that inspires confidence for years of use. The extra-thick triply base with aluminium core ensures the larger surface heats just as evenly as smaller tavas, with no compromise on performance.
Key Features
Generous 26cm Cooking Surface
The larger 26cm diameter gives you more room to work with — ideal for bigger parathas, family-sized rotis, or cooking multiple smaller items at once. It's a practical step up for households that cook in larger batches.
Shielded Non-Stick — Metal Spatula Compatible
Raised stainless steel honeycomb ridges shield the non-stick coating beneath, allowing confident use of metal spatulas for flipping and turning. This reduces wear on the non-stick layer significantly compared to standard non-stick tavas.
18/8 Food-Grade Stainless Steel Surface
The cooking surface is made from AISI 304 (18/8) stainless steel — hygienic, corrosion-resistant, and built to maintain the true taste of your food without any reaction or pitting over time.
Extra-Thick 3.5mm Triply Build with Aluminium Core
The aluminium core, sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel, ensures even heat distribution across the full 26cm surface — reviewers specifically note the premium feel of the steel and the consistently even cooking results.
Stay-Cool Rosewood Handle, Securely Riveted
The natural Rosewood handle remains cool to the touch during cooking, and is fixed in place with stainless steel rivets and a bracket for long-term durability — no loosening, even after years of regular use.
Gas & Induction Compatible
The AISI 430 magnetic stainless steel base works seamlessly across gas stoves and induction cooktops, making the NSPT26 ready for any kitchen.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the NSPT26 and who is it best suited for?
The NSPT26 has a 26cm diameter, making it well-suited for families or anyone who regularly cooks larger parathas, rotis, or batches of flatbreads that need more surface area.
Can metal spatulas be used on this tava?
Yes. The Shielded Non-Stick design with stainless steel honeycomb ridges is specifically built to allow metal spatula use without damaging the non-stick coating.
How is the heat distribution on a larger tava like this?
Excellent. The 3.5mm triply construction with an aluminium core ensures even heat across the full 26cm surface — reviewers specifically highlight the premium steel quality and consistent cooking results even on this larger size.
Is the handle secure over time?
Yes — though one reviewer noted slight handle looseness on their unit, which did not affect performance. The handle is fixed with stainless steel rivets and a bracket designed for long-term durability.
How would you rate the non-stick performance?
Reviewers describe overall performance as strong, with one noting they'd appreciate an even better non-stick finish. The shielded design prioritises durability and metal-spatula compatibility, which can mean a firmer non-stick feel compared to standard coatings — but this trade-off is what makes it last longer.
Is this tava suitable for induction cooktops?
Yes. The magnetic stainless steel base works on both gas and induction cooktops.
