Cast Iron Appe Pan 9 Pit with Lid and Wooden Spatula
A kitchen essential for anyone who grew up on South Indian breakfasts. This 9-pit cast iron appam pan is built for perfectly round, evenly cooked appams — crisp at the edges, soft in the center, every single time.
The heavy cast iron construction distributes heat uniformly across all 9 pits, so you're not left with some appams undercooked while others burn. Beyond appams, this pan pulls double duty as a paddu tawa, unniyappam chatti, or paniyaram pan — one pan for an entire category of traditional South Indian steamed-and-fried snacks.
Pre-seasoned and built to develop a naturally non-stick surface over time, it needs minimal upkeep for a cookware piece that will genuinely last generations. The twin handles make it easy and safe to lift, carry, and serve straight from stove to table — no juggling a heavy pan with one unstable grip.
Why you'll love it:
- 9-pit design for efficient, uniform batch cooking
- Heavy-duty cast iron for even heat and long-term durability
- Twin handles for secure lifting and serving
- Naturally non-stick surface that improves with seasoning and use
- Multi-use: appe, paddu, unniyappam, and paniyaram in one pan
- Comes with a lid for Steaming and Spatula.
Care: Hand wash only. Dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil after each use to maintain seasoning.
