Welcome from Carshalton 

Well the no 4 arrived from somewhere in Bradford today. Sod's law it turned up just after I had finished using the 3 to do CTM for 4 (by request not my choice). Never mind, pan is id to thebSonex 3 in everyway but size. Looking forward to putting it to test. Much cheaper as well than the smaller one i got from Julian and VERY quick delivery.

The ?17.99 version



I have the no 3 but invested in a no 4 to give a bit more space to do 'doubles'.

  Will double amount chilli powder next time. 

Found that interesting

Now I don't mind a hot curry and have done the C2Go madras a few times now but found I had to hold back on the chilli not increase it. I know powders vary greatly but followed Julian's advice and got some ordinary not so hot Rajah chilli powder and mixed it half and half with a good parika (that should reduce strength even more I thought ). Used this as recipe stated but it was well hot. That said it was the sort of heat that hits the tops of your head then mellows to a point where although it was very hot it was not uncomfortable.

Recipe, recipe, recipe, recipe
Now, now , now, now
Where is it?

   they all beat me to it  - yep  heat transference although I can vouch for the advantage in weight too as most of our other pans are Woll and they are everything but light. I also find that the ali pans actually clean easier than any non stick ones but that is probably due to the oil content of what they get used for.  :

Well I understand the science behind the ali pan. Perhaps the spoon is more to do with the chef spoon measure than the material. Personally metal spoon in ali pan is no problem. It may scratch but it will not damage. Nylon or wood in all other pans for me too though.

.......and yet every vid you see of BIR kitchen shows metal chef spoon used in ali pan.

Another curry secret unfolded

Keep telling my missus to rinse the plates off before putting in DW. The odd cardamon? You wanna see what ends up in the washing machine pump!,, She is an expert at blocking large white electrical.

Lighten up there Steve, Rubydoo was just joking about the chips instead of the usual rice,

Ermmm  - there is actually rice there as well.    but I certainly didn't mean any offence Steve. Just made me smile to see the chips there as well. As I said - each to his / her own and whatever floats yer boat.  :
