Discription

Overview
Designed for authentic South Indian appams and paniyarams, our 12-Pit Cast-Iron Appam Pan features twelve evenly spaced cavities that cook each lacy pancake to crispy perfection. Hand-forged from pure cast iron and pre-seasoned, it retains heat exceptionally well—yielding golden brown edges and tender centers every time.

Benefits

  • Twelve Perfect Appams: Each cavity gently cradles batter, forming the characteristic bowl shape with lacy edges.

  • Even Heat Retention: Thick iron construction heats uniformly so each appam is cooked consistently.

  • Naturally Non-Stick: Pre-seasoned surface lets you release appams easily without any sticking.

  • Multi-Purpose Use: Also makes paniyaram, takoyaki-style snacks, mini omelets, and stuffed dumplings.

Care & Pairing
After cooking, wipe off any residue, rinse with hot water, and dry thoroughly. Apply a light coat of oil to preserve seasoning. Pair with our 10 in Skillet for quick side dishes—make appams here, then use the skillet to sauté chutneys or curries.
