Aluminium Idiyappam Maker Plate, Perforated Circular Design with Uniform Hole Pattern for Fresh Steamed Noodles, Quick Meal Prep & Daily Cooking [Lightweight, Heat-Conductive Material]
In stock – Ready to be shipped
The plate that turns simple batter into perfect steamed noodles
This idiyappam maker plate sits at the heart of making fresh, homemade string hoppers in minutes. The uniform holes punched in concentric rings across the flat aluminium surface let steam pass through evenly, so every strand of noodle cooks at the same rate and comes out tender and light.
Built for speed and even cooking every time
The circular perforated design means batter flows through consistently without clogging or pooling, and the matte grey aluminium conducts heat efficiently, so your idiyappam steams through in minutes rather than sitting unevenly in a heavy vessel. The holes are spaced at just the right intervals to create the traditional fine noodle texture without tearing or sticking, whether you're making a quick breakfast or a weeknight side dish.
Why this design actually works for daily cooking
Aluminium is light enough to handle with one hand while you're squeezing batter through, and it heats up fast so you're not waiting for the vessel to come to temperature. The perforated pattern is engineered to prevent batter buildup, which means less scraping and soaking after you're done, and the matte finish grips the batter just enough to keep it from sliding around as you press.
Simple to clean and ready for the next meal
Rinse under warm water right after use, or soak briefly if batter dries on. The holes are sized to let water through easily without trapping residue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Idiyappam, also called string hoppers or seviyam, are steamed rice or wheat flour noodles made by pushing batter through the perforated holes into boiling water or a steamer. This plate lets you make them fresh at home in minutes.
The concentric ring layout ensures even steam distribution and consistent batter flow, so every noodle strand cooks at the same rate and comes out tender without breaking or sticking together.
Yes, you can use it to steam batters for appam, puttu, or other traditional steamed preparations that need even heat distribution through a perforated surface.
Aluminium naturally oxidizes (turns darker), but it won't rust. Regular rinsing and occasional light polishing keeps it looking bright; avoid prolonged contact with acidic foods if possible.
Rinse the plate with water just before use and make sure your batter is the right consistency, not too thick or too thin. A slightly wetter batter flows through more smoothly.
This plate is designed for steaming in a vessel with boiling water, not for direct flame or induction cooktop use. Always use it inside a steamer or over a pot of water.
