Hi,
Thanks to all of your input, I got lodge cast iron griddle - preseasoned. I am using it to make chapathi. Having a bit of a problem. One corner of the chapathi always gets burned and hardened. Something like a hotspot. Should I apply oil to the griddle before putting the chapathi on it everytime? Can someone please help.

Thanks.

Hi Kitchenmate,

I dont think its a bad deal..the product is worth $25..amazon might even offer free shipping..i bought it from bed bath simply coz i wanted to try the product and decide whether or not i wanted to keep it and it is esaier to return when bought from a store.

Hello Friends,
I need help with seasoning my indolium dosa pan (dosai kal) which my mom bought me last year. I tried making dosa couple of times, but batter got too sticked up that i had to spend lots of time scrubing... since then it just stays in, is there anywhere we can season them???? Any help is really appreciated. Thanks a lot.

For those who use food processors, how often do u use it, for what kind of works do u use it? do u think it is very helpful?
i am thinking to buy kitchenaid fp, i do have sumeet mixie. so wondering if it would be a unnecessary investment or an useful one? It would be mostly for shredding and grating veggies/cheese.

Has any one tried saladshooter? is it worth to buy?

Hello KK,

Dosaikal made of Hindaliums tend to get heated up very fast and the heat distribution is unequal.

Try the following.
1) Keep a constant medium flame only.
2) When the kal gets heated, season first with cut onion by rubbing it on kal thoroughly.
3) After each dosai is made, sprinkle a little water on kal and then only pour the batter.

If you follow these steps, you will have no problem.
