Yes the spoon is a normal supermarket spoon, not a cute little Chef's spoon, and far too cumbersome for the job. I'm going back to the Hospitality superstore I got the pan from on Friday to see if I can get a spoon more like you see in the curry YouTubes.
The burner is just a generic Chinese ten quid camping stove that uses the gas canisters. I've got a couple. Brilliant for a quick curry.
