If you love making dosas—a popular South Indian crepe—you might wonder if outdoor tables can serve as makeshift dosa boards. While traditional dosa boards are flat, smooth surfaces designed for spreading batter, some sturdy outdoor tables with heat-resistant tops could work in a pinch.

Look for tables made of materials like stainless steel or treated wood, which can withstand heat and moisture. However, dedicated dosa boards offer better control and hygiene. For occasional outdoor cooking, a well-cleaned, flat table might suffice, but for frequent use, investing in a proper dosa board is recommended.

Multipurpose outdoor furniture can be handy, but ensure it meets food safety standards before repurposing it for cooking. Happy dosa-making!
