Seasoning: Before you use your cast iron tawa for the first time, make sure to season it properly. This process involves coating the tawa with a thin layer of oil and then heating it in the oven or on the stovetop. Seasoning helps create a natural non-stick surface and protects the cast iron from rusting.

Preheating: Cast iron heats up slowly but retains heat very well, so it's important to preheat it thoroughly before adding any food. Place the tawa on the stove over medium heat and let it heat up for a few minutes before you start cooking.

Use the Right Oil: When cooking on a cast iron tawa, it's best to use oils with high smoke points such as canola, grapeseed, or coconut oil. Avoid using olive oil or butter, as they have lower smoke points and can burn at high temperatures.

Maintain Even Heat: Cast iron distributes heat evenly, but you may still encounter hot spots, especially if your stove doesn't heat evenly. To prevent uneven cooking, you can rotate the tawa occasionally while cooking or move the food around with a spatula.

Avoid Sudden Temperature Changes: Cast iron can crack if exposed to rapid temperature changes, so avoid putting a hot tawa under cold water or placing it on a cold surface immediately after cooking. Let it cool down gradually on the stove or a heat-resistant surface.

Cleaning: After cooking, allow the tawa to cool down slightly before cleaning it. Use a soft sponge or brush to scrub off any food residue, and avoid using harsh abrasives or metal utensils that can damage the seasoning. It's okay to use a small amount of mild dish soap if needed, but avoid soaking the tawa in water for extended periods.

Re-season Regularly: Over time, the seasoning on your cast iron tawa may wear off, especially with frequent use or aggressive cleaning. To maintain its non-stick properties, you can re-season the tawa periodically by applying a thin layer of oil and heating it in the oven or on the stovetop.

Store Properly: To prevent rusting, make sure your cast iron tawa is completely dry before storing it. You can also lightly coat it with oil before storing to provide extra protection against moisture.
