While i was in tesco today collecting my santuko knife could not resist this offer
not sure if its a national thing or what the store i went to was canal rd bradford.
they are 24cm nonstick aluminium pans and for ?1.50 i dont think you can go wrong

Cheers uncle frank.
This place is only two mins away from my work didnt even know it existed
will definately be having a nosey and for the sake of a fiver think i will buy one of those pans been using a wok so been wanting to give these a blast.

Thanks jerryM,
That answers my questions perfectly,
1/I dont have a good relationship witH a t/a or restaurant but the 2nd stage cooking i will try.
2/I have an electric hob and have been using a wok and rosle spatula,i have bought a spoon but dont like the abrasivness off it in the pan it makes me cringe :
3/sauces or pastes i have never tried,so one to investigate any recomendations greatly appreciated.
4/is also something for me to look into

It is a dark and murky path though trying to acheive this taste especially for a perfectionist borderline OCD like myself i dont cope well with not being able to do/acheive something it drives me mad
my wife thinks im nuts 
but loves eating my experiments ;D

Its certainly worth visiting if your in the bradford area ELW.
Usual inner city precautions to be taken though dont leave anything on show in the car etc.
after all it is bradford not belgravia. ;D

Thanks for that PaulP

I will  give it a try.

I have been happy for a while using the SNS june base and the matching madras but it looks like i have the bug again so time to start experimenting i think ;D
