Overview

A flat bottom under curved, deep sides gives the Hawkins Futura kadai its two jobs: steady contact with a gas grate or flat cooktop, and room for deep frying and stir frying. The hard anodised aluminium body resists pitting and corrosion, and a stainless steel lid comes with it.

Versatility is the reason to buy, from curries and gravies to deep frying in one pan. Induction is not among the listed cooktops, and it must be washed by hand.

Who it's for

Curries, gravies and deep frying on a gas or electric stove fit this kadai. Induction kitchens are not covered by the listing.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Flat bottom for stability
  • Curved sides for frying
  • Comfortable rosewood handles
  • Hard anodised, will not corrode
Cons
  • Induction not listed
  • Hand wash only

Performance notes

Aluminium spreads heat quickly across the base, and the hard anodised layer gives a tough surface that will not pit or tarnish. Curved sides let oil pool deep in the center for frying and let food slide back while stir frying. The flat base stays steady on a grate or glass top.
