We tested 6 nonstick tawas

One month of daily rotis across six tawas, cooked on the same stove by the same hands. We scored each on heat spread, stickiness after 30 days, handle comfort, and price.

No rating on this one — six products with different strengths don’t reduce to a single number. Read the picks instead.

What we learned

Coating quality mattered far less than base thickness. The two thinnest tawas developed hot spots within a fortnight, regardless of what the coating claimed.
