Introduction

Futura Hard Anodised Cookware

Futura Hard Anodised Cookware is made from heavy gauge, pure, 

virgin aluminium for fast and even heat conduction and hard anodised 

to give you a tough surface that will not pit, tarnish or corrode and will 

stay looking new for years.  Futura Hard Anodised Cookware comes in 

many useful shapes and sizes to suit your different cooking needs.  All 

pans are well-balanced with sturdy, stay-cool handles.

Futura Hard Anodised Tava (Griddle)

There are six models of the Futura Hard Anodised Tava (Griddle) – in 

various sizes and thicknesses and two different handles.  These six tava 

are illustrated overleaf, page 2.  The size and thickness of the tava is 

stamped on the underside of the tava.  

The sizes of different 

roti 

(Indian flat breads) recommended for each 

size of tava are given on page 3.

Using this Manual

This Manual contains instructions and 10 recipes for all models of 

the Futura Hard Anodised Tava (Griddle).

Eight of the 10 recipes are various kinds of Indian flat bread or 

roti

.  

Each of these recipes gives a choice of the sizes of 

roti

 which can be 

made.  Once the 

roti

 size to be made is chosen, follow the measurements 

for that size 

roti

 throughout the recipe.  

The two recipes which require multiple pieces of food to be cooked 

in batches recommend the maximum pieces of food to be cooked at 

one time.

Each recipe gives the suggested pre-heating time for each tava size; 

choose the pre-heating time given for your size of tava.  Other than the 

pre-heating times, the heat settings in the recipes are those used for the 

26 cm tava.  The 22 cm and 24 cm tava may require slightly lower heat 

and the 28 cm tava slightly higher heat to achieve the same cooking 

times in the recipes – depending on the volume and size of the food 

being cooked.  For best cooking results, adjust heat so that the cooking 

times are the same as those given in the recipes.  

Your tava will give you years of easy, great-tasting, healthful, 

economical cooking and easy clean-up 

if

 you carefully follow the 

instructions in this Manual.
