Product Description

Bring the Magic of South Indian Mornings Home with Bergner Excalibur

There is something deeply satisfying about the chhuk-chhuk sizzle of paniyaram batter hitting a hot cast iron pan. The aroma of curry leaves and mustard seeds curling up from each pit. The first crisp bite that gives way to a pillowy soft centre. The Bergner Excalibur Lightweight Cast Iron Paniyarakal 22 cm with 12 Pits is built to bring that very experience to your kitchen, every single morning.

This isn't just another paniyaram pan. It's part of Bergner's Excalibur Series – a thoughtfully engineered range that takes the ancient strength of cast iron and pairs it with modern conveniences Indian home cooks have been quietly wishing for.

Why Cast Iron Matters for Paniyaram

Anyone who's grown up eating kuzhi paniyaram in Chettinad, appe in Maharashtra, or unni appam in Kerala knows the secret: the pan matters as much as the batter. Cast iron retains heat like nothing else, which is why each paniyaram pit cooks evenly, develops that signature crisp golden crust, and stays soft inside.

But traditional cast iron has its quirks – it's heavy, demands seasoning, and rusts if you blink at it wrong. Bergner's Excalibur changes that. It's lightweight cast iron, so it doesn't strain your wrist, and it comes with a PFAS-free enamel non-stick coating that means no painstaking seasoning rituals, no rust, and no fuss.

The 12-Pit Design – Built for Indian Breakfasts

The 22 cm pan houses 12 uniformly sized cavities. Pour in your fermented rice-and-urad-dal batter, drop in tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, ginger and green chillies, and you have a full breakfast for the family ready in minutes. Twelve pits means twelve perfect paniyarams at a time – no more cooking in tiny batches while everyone else is already at the table.

But this versatile pan goes far beyond paniyaram. Use it for:

• Sweet appe with jaggery, coconut and ripe banana
• Stuffed paniyaram with paneer, masala potato or vegetables
• Gulab jamun spheres without deep frying
• Dhokla balls and stuffed idlis
• Japanese takoyaki, Danish aebleskiver, or Dutch poffertjes for the adventurous home cook
• Even mini uthappams, bonda, or goli baje in each pit

See-Through Glass Lid – No More Guesswork

One of the small joys this pan brings is its transparent glass lid. Anyone who's burnt a batch of paniyaram by peeking too often (steam escapes, the magic dies) will appreciate this. Cover, cook, watch, flip. The lid traps steam to keep the centres soft while you watch the bottoms turn that beautiful golden brown.

Healthier Cooking, PFAS-Free Promise

The enamel non-stick coating is PFAS-free, which means none of the so-called "forever chemicals" found in some conventional non-stick cookware. You can cook your family's breakfast knowing the surface in contact with food has been built with health in mind. A little oil is all you need – the smooth coating releases each paniyaram with a gentle tap.

Built to Last, Designed to Stay Beautiful

The elegant pink finish of the Excalibur Paniyarakal is unapologetically modern. It looks at home in contemporary modular kitchens just as much as it would in a traditional one. The sturdy handle with silicon sleeves stays cool to touch and gives you confident, secure handling – something you'll appreciate when you're flipping a hot pan with one hand and reaching for the spoon with the other.

And because it's backed by a 5-year manufacturer warranty, you can trust that this is a long-term addition to your kitchen, not a fleeting purchase.

Works on Every Stove in Your Home

Whether you've upgraded to a sleek induction cooktop, still swear by your trusty gas stove, or use a ceramic hob, the Excalibur Paniyarakal heats up beautifully on all of them. It's the versatility modern Indian households genuinely need.

Easy Care, Lasting Performance

Forget the elaborate maintenance routines of bare cast iron. This pan needs nothing more than a simple hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft sponge, dried thoroughly before storing. The enamel coating resists rust and staining, keeping your paniyarakal looking and performing like new for years.

Who Is It For?

This is for the South Indian family that loves weekend paniyaram breakfasts. For the young couple setting up their first kitchen and wanting one beautiful pan that does many things. For the gifting occasions – housewarmings, weddings, Diwali, Onam, Pongal – when you want to give something that's both meaningful and useful. For anyone who believes that good food starts with good tools.
