Hiya all
cooking for one on electric ceramic hob. first question is what size pot should i buy for just the curry base, is it in cm or pints? secondly, is aluminum pot OK for ceramic hob?
cheers
failsafe
I use a 6L pressure cooker, this one specifically: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/8614869.htm (http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/8614869.htm)
I know h4ppy-chris uses one of this too. It's sufficient to most base recipes on this website.
not sure about ceramic hobs failsafe but for base you need a pot the measures in litres - mine is 14.

I also cook on a ceramic hob (in fact, on two : one halogen, one induction) and I use both aluminium and stainless on the halogen/ceramic whilst using (for obvious reasons) only stainless steel on the induction/ceramic hob. My base pot is a 6L stainless steel Fagor pressure cooker.

Hi guys
thanks for that info it seems that 6L pot would do for my base sauce.
although still a bit confused as to whether it should be stainless steel for ceramic hob and/or if aluminum will be suitable
thanks again guys

Aluminium is perfectly acceptable provided that your ceramic hob is not an induction ceramic hob, but in general a stainless steel pressure cooker will be of higher quality than an aluminium one.
