Cooking Equipment / Re: Pan recommendation please!

« on: December 04, 2015, 12:26 PM »

Thanks CH - I read every thread about pans and came out more confused than when I went in :-)

I meant to add that I have an (as yet unseasoned) carbon steel wok that I got from an Asian supermarket - this is what I was planning on using for now (once seasoned of course...)

Cooking Equipment / Pan recommendation please!

« on: December 04, 2015, 11:39 AM »

Hi All

Newbie curry chef wannabe here!

Can someone please recommend me a decent pan to be cooking my curries in? Something big enough to cook a two person portion in would be perfect.

There's just so much choice and variety of materials and information out there that I'm a bit overwhelmed in all honesty and can't see the wood from the trees!

Thanks :-)

Thanks Garp.

Out of interest what's the recommended way to store the meat if cooked a few hours before being used? I'm guessing refrigerated in any residual sauce from the cooking method to retain moisture?

This has got to be probably one of the best methods of pre-cooking lamb available. Courtesy of Mick Crawford: CBM aka CurryBarkingMad. Would highly recommend any new BIR chefs to the journey purchase both his books for the paltry sum that he asks. They provide solid foundations for success The recipe and instructions to this video are contained in one of them. They can be purchased through this link:

Pre-cooked lamb video here, simply copy and paste the link :

Thanks, will definitely check out his books!

Thanks Stephen! Just finished the base and this is how it came out - looks broadly similar to others in the Taz thread so hopefully I haven't gone too far wrong!

The recipe I'm doing on Sat is 976bar's Bhuna which specifically mentions the Taz base so hopefully it'll be a winner! It certainly looks good!

Now if someone could point me in the direction of a foolproof, easy method of pre cooking lamb that'll be much appreciated! :-)

Newbie here, making my first curry this coming weekend using a 'base' and here's how my first attempt came out. Doesn't look too dissimilar from the others so hopefully I've not gone too far wrong :-)

Thanks guys - yes fried I'm doing a Bhuna recipe on Sat which specifically mentions the Taz base but wanted to get the base made up tonight in advance :-) presuming a small quantity of it will be ok in the fridge until then? Will freeze the rest as soon as its cool
