One other thing Currymonster if you haven't yet read through the pan links (although it may be too late), is the single postage payment covers you upto a 20kg delivery.
So it can be quite cheap if you order a few items.

Thanks for the info Frank
Yeah i was trying to pump up the order but in the end couldnt really think at this stage what else i needed but in the end ?6-60 on top of some ?5-00 added up wasnt too bad for the delivered pan in hindsight

Now for my next bit of study..... Following the recommended guidelines for a curry after years of playing it by ear
Cheers

This company where very quick on the delivery, managed to find a few items I needed so the postage didn't seem to bad.

On the first use of my new Ali pan, after seasoning, I got the pan far too hot that the garlic and ginger burnt immediately! Started again and managed to make a fairly decent curry!

;D

Really? That claim sounds to me like a load of tosh. Aluminium is aluminium. Keeping it sufficiently clean for food use must be important but their claim sounds like a way of parting fools from extra money.

Hi George.

100% food grade is what's claimed on their website.

We've all got to die one day, I'd rather die happy and foolish having nice yummy hot curries  :)

So George what are the dangers and properties of Aluminium?, the video i posted (from curry2go) claim that Alzheimers and Aluminium are not proven or incorrect, surely in this day and age health and safety would have noticed this as lots of pans are made from ali

Why are you using Aluminium pans?
The industry and marketing know the downsides to using this metal (their "war cry" is the same as the tobacco industry)
If acidic goods are cooked tomatoes etc the oxides leach out into the cooking Good or Bad you choose
To make it worse metal spoons are used to help this process
Ali is cheap mass produced that's why a lot of cooks choose it
Carbonised steel must be the direction to take as there are benefits to the health a good" Saute" pot will cost ?30 and will last a lifetime

Noble Ox, can you give us any credible links that show that cooking (not storing) even acidic foodstuff causes an aluminium overdose in humans? If you ever eat in any restaurant you will probably find that nearly all the pots in the kitchen are made from aluminium.
