Full day curry fest yesterday and really good fun proving these Balti Pans.
A different style of cooking and not as much cooking control as a flat curry pan.

Glad we got these pans and will cook a Balti/Karahi when needed, one less pot to wash. ;D

Looks like a fun day was had :) and the food looks good too.

Are those pans stainless steel? I had one once which was a bitch to keep useable - having to oil it before storage to keep it from rusting. Just wondered if these ones are similar, or didn't I season it properly :)

They're just pressed plain steel, a couple of mm thick. I always dry mine on some heat after washing and towel drying, same with my wok.

I meant plain steel, Gav, just had a senior moment :)

I did find I had to oil it though, but maybe just drying on heat and towelling is enogh to keep the moisture away :)

Anyway, you should be getting pics ready to post ;)

Just to clarify, towel dry then heat just to get rid of any remaining moisture.  :)

Entertaining report, Gav. Not sure I'm anywhere nearer making a proper Balti, but it was a good read and I can only say that I wish I had been there to share the grub and the banter!

Look forward to the next instalment! :)

PS: Happy new pan! :D
