Best Curry Pan Yet!!!
« on: March 09, 2013, 04:50 PM »
Hi Fellow curry lovers,

I thought I would post this link in order to help people find and buy the best curry pan for BIR home style curries.
The pan is a 9"(23 Cm) commercial aluminium fry/omelette pan with wooden handle. total cost ?15.25 inc vat and delivery.

Although there is no pics on the website I have included some of my own.

(Aluminium pans)
Also agreed!

Oh G@d, have I /really/ got to go out and buy one of these if I am to achieve consistently great curries ?  Why can't it just be an myth so I can keep using my wonderful Waitrose steel deep rounded pan without wondering if I am wasting my time ?!

I came to this thread through a picture link on the bottom of the page today and saw it was an old thread from 2013.

Are aluminium pans a necessity to recreate a good BIR?

I use an induction hob so I couldn't make use of an Ali' pan, but I must admit that I get better trad results from cast iron cookware. Certainly get onions browned quicker with a lot less hot spots.

Some believe/assert so; I do not.

I am fairly certain that I have an Aldi-sourced Crofton aluminium frying pan (24 cm) with ceramic non-stick lining and induction-compatible base. Amazon have something similar at less than

I just flogged my last Meyer professional aluminium alloy pan that I originally bought to make curries in. Basically i'm not taking any chances with the possible aluminium - Alzheimer's connection. I'm dopey enough without that adding to my woes.

And, no, I don't believe there is any truth in the ali-pan being most suited for BIR results myth. The technique that works and adds to the BIR result, in any pan, is to leave the curry to boil/fry away at high heat without stirring it for a good while. That's why the chefs always seem so casual when you watch them because they know that you can/must leave the curry to cook itself for a while without being disturbed.

Aluminium doesn't give you Alzheimers. The theory (and that's all it ever was) has been completely dismissed
