For many years I used non-stick pans.
Each pan would last 3-6 months, then start peeling. Black bits in the food was not good. And if you burn them, they can peel on the very first use.
About 1 year ago, I bought some stainless steel pans, very heavy, good quality and they are still like new, today. I expect them to last at least 15 years.

Would that be any good for making crepes on an electric stove?

No. Crepes need a flat surfaced pan. These are dished, so your crepe would be thicker towards the middle.
Tefal do a great crepe pan aswell.

I am using my hard anodized since 5yrs, its as good as new. I have never put any form of ghee or oil on it hence no smoke. Its only for chapattis. Would highly recommend. I bought mine from ebay.

Aluminium pan cannot be used on induction. Plus i like ceramic instead of teflon carcinogenic coating for non stick. I love Indian bread but just bake or heat in convection oven microwave on plate than use pans like this.

I bought a cast iron one about 30 years ago from an Asian shop, only cost a few quid and weighs a ton. Never had any problem with things sticking and i reckon it will probably outlast me.

How do you manage to make roti/chapati without using a hob?

Not sure how you can make Chapatti in a microwave??
Loubou

They said 'convection oven microwave'. That's a microwave that also has an oven setting. Can be used like a normal oven with metal trays etc. :wink:
Practically everything man made gives you some form of cancer, it's the great equaliser. In this case I think it's the cheap coating flaking off the surface that is the problem.

You can buy chapti pans from asian stores probably for around the same price.

Non-stick coatings are all variants of PTFE. Inert and perfectly safe if used as instructed. But heat the pan above ~240oC and the coatings can vapourise (google teflon pneumonia/polymer fume fever), burn, or peel off and that isn't good for you. Swings and roundabouts. I like to saute vegetables, brown off mince, cook sauces etc. in teflon pans, but avoid them for very-high heat applications such as searing a steak or getting bacon really crispy. I wouldn't use one of of these for chapatis as they are cooked very quickly over a hot flame (at least, I do them like this to get the brown spots on them, perhaps I am doing it wrong?). But if you're careful with it and don't let it get smoking hot it shouldn't be an issue.

Good price OP. Not too dissimilar in price to places like Siras or Quality Foods in Southall and Hayes. M_z hit the nail on the head, the iron ones are the best, they also hold heat for longer.

I just roast frozen Indian bread made in India, in the combination microwave or oven. I have not got time to clean the mess created by making Indian bread. But the Indian bread made in Asia is made of whole wheat flour, the ones made in UK are made of bleached dead white Flour without any fibre or nutrients. So prefer those made abroad.

The reason why people would want to buy a chapati pan is to make it from scratch and not for the purpose of heating premade stuff so why are you speaking of baking/roasting frozen bread? It would be like going onto a pizza maker thread and talking about how you use your oven to make frozen pizza...
because you need a special pan for chapatis. Western nonsense.

I knew that. I don't see how you can cook a chapatti in a microwave oven. And I assumed he was talking about reheating ready made, which he indeed was.

I use cast iron flat plate. Have been eating off it most of my life minus few years when we got enticed into non-stick which we loved until we heard what teflon or other cariogenic non stick material does to you.
So although there is a bit of smoke emitted on iron plate as long as I don't allow it to burn i.e. have bits burnt patches I will be ok with the smoking chapatis as oppose to the cariogenic materials.
Having said that every one who has informed choice it is up to the individual which one they choose to use....

Why would you waste your time making bread especially Indian one? Even Indian people in Uk do not make it unless in bulk. It is so messy that it is not worth the time.

Just because you don't see the point and consider it to be waste of your time doesn't mean others do. With that mindset, why not question why people would waste their time making burgers when they can just heat up a rustlers? Or why they would buy cookware at all for making a meal from ingredients when they could just microwave a pre-made meal or order takeaway since that would cut out the mess and not be a waste of time? Like with your other "opinions" you think that something that applies to you must be the case for everyone else.
