Tips to buy best Electric Roti Maker in India

Roti maker- It combines 3 functions first of rolling board (Chakla), second of rolling pin (Belan), and third of the griddle (Tava).

How does roti maker works- Put a ball of the dough (Aata) press the handle and it will roll out. Now the heat elements will start cooking. You may even cook the roti keeping the cover open to puff the roti.

Time- A good roti maker should cook chapatti in a minute’s time or even less. Make sure you take a demo before purchasing the roti maker.

Outer cover- Stainless steel outer covers are recommended.

Indicator light - An indicator light is needed to know when the griddle is sufficiently hot to cook.

Griddle size- Normally the roti maker available in the market has 8 inches griddle but if you like large sized Punjabi paratha I would recommend you go for 10 inches griddle.

Please keep the following factors in mind while purchasing a roti maker:

Heating Elements- Make sure the roti maker you choose has heating elements on both the sides, top as well as bottom.

Thermostat- It is one very important feature to look for as it will stop the roti maker’s function if it gets too hot.

Coating- I would recommend a roti maker with Teflon coating otherwise the roti may stick to the interior while cooking.
