Great video! Having used cast iron for a long time I have a few recommendations. 1. Wipe all the water with a cloth before heating up the pan 2. Once the pan has heated well (till the top edges), switch off the gas and rub oil into it 3. Wipe off excess oil once the pan has cooled
I recently purchased meyer cast iron kadhai.. Food is getting blackish colour even after immediately removing from kadhai after cooking... Can u pls share tips to avoid blackish colour.. Pls

In my humble opinion, the oil should be brought to a smoking point. Cool it down and repeat the process 3 times. It would become rust resistant, Non-Stick and last very long.
@mahima varlani 1st time whn it's new v must wash it after seasoning/ heating oil, after it cools down. Bt aftr regular usage- once cleanly washed, dried- v shud season it & just store it. Thts it, NO washing. Whn u using for cooking again nxt time- just wipe with cloth preferably or tissue paper.
Please make a video on how to make dosa on iron tawa as most of us are used to using nonstick dosa tawa. My dosa has been sticking on iron tawa so i am not being able to get rid of my nonstick.
Thats very good way to season it.... the way I do it has always worked, I wash it with dish drop, wipe it n take any oil n smear all around .... it never rusts. I hv never done by heating. It has beautifully worked for me. Wash it, wipe clean water n apply any oil all over. I hv doing this for 14 yrs now. This is my mom's method. Thanku .... but sure do the way it suits you. The above method is very good too
The exactly same way, I season my Lodge pan. I am fan of loge.. after seeing your video, I plan to buy the deep skillet. ❤️. Thank you , and have a nice day!!
Thank you 🙏 it is clear now, which cooking utensil is better n how... you have such a down to earth manner of explaining the minute details.., amazing clarity. Is cast iron better than sheet iron for cooking?
The most awaited video for me. I have a iron pan, has I dont know how to use it, it totally got rusted. So will the rust go on one wash, pls let me know how I can clean my pan without any rust.
Nishaji what if we cook all sour food in this kind of pots. Does it react with kadai? That food is good for health? Please let me know. I love your cooking 🥰👍
Can you please also share how to season clay kadai? Love your recipes. Love the fact that I can enjoy all my favorite dishes with just making small changes and not sacrificing on the taste.
Very informative video. I started using Meyer Cast Iron Kadai for cooking food and the food tastes FAR better compared to other metal vessels. Initially I had issues of food turning black but gradually I learned how to tackle it and prevent rusting. But this cooking involves usage of oil so it prevents rust. As recommend by several veterans we should boil milk in iron kadai. Won't the seasoned oil react with milk ? If we don't use oil won't the kadai rust if we boil milk in it ? Kindly answer. If possible make a video on boiling milk in iron kadai.
Hi even I got meyer cast iron kadai when I start making ladies finger and yam it starts sticking half way I thought it will be like normal iron kadai can you give me some tips
How did you tackle food changing to black color? Pls guide us well.. recently started using cast iron from prestige and my vegetables turned to black always after cooking
@@bpriyanairIron particles erode more from new iron vessels. So food becomes blackish. After 2-3 months erosion will be very less and and after 6 months it will be negligible. A new iron kadai will catch rust after every wash so u need to season (oil on surface of vessel) each time after wash. But after 3-4 months catching rust will reduce but will NEVER end completely. Seasoning frequency will be less required. Iron vessels are good for cooking & frying but NOT for storing cooked food. After cooking transfer the food within 5-10 minutes to another vessel to avoid more blackening (which is already some blackish). Don't leave any liquid content in the kadai after use to avoid deep rusting and COMPULSORILY wipe it properly to remove any droplets that may cause rusting. YES few starting months require more care taking & maintenance but later on it will reduce upto 90% but NEVER 100% maintenance free. Taste will be compromised in starting days but become negligible later on. Just do frying Chura (Poha) for some days. Stop cooking other things unless it becomes little old. You won't feel much difference in taste of fried Poha in a NEW Kadai. On the other hand after several usages Kadai will become gradually normal. I also faced the same issues & no one guided me. After long usage I learned a lot experience.
Thank you for sharing this video.What about the bottom of the pan? As you have seasoned the sides but bottom also is rusted so should bottom be seasoned as well especially for dosa tava?
Bottom should be seasoned as well while seasoning the insides as its single piece of iron. Many videos by Cowboy Kent Rollins, Cast Iron Fanatic channels & many more on how to season.
I also season my cast iron utensils the same way. Please make a video on how you store. After watching your video I have also replaced aluminum, non stick vessels to good quality steel, cast iron, clay utensils. Need to change oils too. Wood pressed oils are too expensive. After watching your videos slow adopting to healthier options. Your icebox cake is all time favorite in my house. I have made variations in the recipe using Oreo biscuits, melted chocolate, introduced finely chopped nuts etc.
Thank you for sharing. I had bought cast iron pan last year but stopped using it due to rusting issue. Now I will start using it again with proper seasoning. Thank you 🙏
Hi Nisa... Thanks for the great info... Was awaiting for the same, could you please tell for how long should we keep the seasoned kadai aside? Can we start using it immediately after seasoning?

Please go for a seasoned cast iron tawa. You can try this brand called "Rock". It is made in India and much reasonable than foreign brands like Lodge. Really good quality. I ordered from Amazon and using it on a regular basis
Ma'am seasoned once, it is good to go till I use it next time? I have different sizes of these cookware and pans, I don't need all of them. I use only one on a day to day basis but the rest are stacked up in the cupboard. Also, please share if it's okay to cook all veggies in them? Are there any items that should not be cooked in such kadhais?
Please suggest where should i buy my iron cook ware. Not sure which one on amazon as many people suggest better to buy from iron smith. A friend is going to chennai. Is it better to get from there or shall i buy from amazon? If so which brand? Can u reply asap? Thanks
I bought pre-seasoned cast iron tawa from amazon. I did the steps mentioned in this video as well. Then i use this pan to cook only chicken curry. But always my curry turns black.

What about the next time you use it mam.. do you simply risne with water before using?
Does it not attract dust after applying oil and store?
For sure we have to clean the pans before using & after seasoning as the oil attracts small mites & lot of dust...
Mam would you suggest a pure iron kadai or cast iron kadai?
Perfect... you know very well to keep utensils rust free and good to cook in any iron utensils..Allah Bless you😊🙌🏻
