Tonight a good hearty lasagne Verdi with a layered topping of potato slices with cheese sauce within, because, well why the hell not?!!  Tasted even better than it looked. 

Well shit-the-bed Phil, you actually can cook worth a damn! Who knew?!

Tuesday night must be pizza night!

Thanks garp. Smells like it has a machine oil coating as supplied. Think it might be worth a quick wipe with some veggie oil after scrubbing

I gave mine a good going over with a brillo to get rid of the machine oil then seasoned it three times.  Now works a treat

By "seasoned it three times", should I take that to mean you got it smoking hot on the hob then let it cook again between each of the three times? Any further cleaning or oiling involved, or is it like a wok, you don't clean it apart from a wipe with a dry cloth?

I wonder what the cost is once they add P&P from Aus to the UK!  ;D

I like the idea of the "V" cross section to stop the food rotating on them though.

Postage is included in the price you see, and the seller is Hong Kong based, not Australia.

Whats wrong with

Hi Edwina. Mustard seeds and mustard oil feature IMHO. Mix powder is unlikely if you ask me.  Good luck, but I don't fancy your chances of coming up with a good match - too many possible permutations of all the possible spices.
