Handcrafted Terracotta Appachatty
Experience the true taste of Kerala with Pepperhub’s Appachatty. This traditional clay pan is specifically designed to create the perfect Appam—soft and fluffy in the center with golden, lace-like crispy edges. Unlike modern non-stick pans, terracotta provides uniform heat distribution and natural moisture retention, ensuring your Appams are infused with an earthy aroma and superior texture that only clay can provide.
Why Pepperhub Terracotta Appachattys are a Must
Have
-
Authentic Flavor Enhancement: The porous nature of natural clay interacts with the batter to enhance the flavor profile, giving you a “village-style” taste in your modern kitchen.
-
Superior Heat Retention: Terracotta absorbs and retains heat exceptionally well, allowing for even cooking and keeping your Appams warm for longer after they leave the stove.
-
100% Natural & Non-Toxic: Made from pure, lead-free clay with no synthetic coatings or PFOA. It is a completely food-safe and eco-friendly alternative to chemical-laden non-stick cookware.
-
Healthier Cooking: Clay pans naturally require less oil for cooking and alkaline-neutralize the acidity in food, making your meals easier to digest.
-
Ergonomic Design: Features a classic deep-curved shape and sturdy handles, traditionally crafted to allow for the perfect “swirl” of the batter.

How to Season and Care for Your Appachatty
-
First-Time Seasoning: Soak the new pan in water for 24 hours. After drying, apply a thin layer of cooking oil and heat it on a low flame with a handful of rice starch or bran for 15 minutes.
-
Cleaning: Use only hot water and a soft brush or sponge. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents or metal scrubbers, as they can clog the clay’s pores or scratch the surface.
-
Drying: Always allow the pan to air-dry completely before storing it to prevent moisture buildup.
-
Cooking Tip: Always start on a low to medium flame. Sudden extreme temperature changes can cause natural terracotta to crack.
