Whatever do you mean Mr Taylor?  I'm a modern day Romeo me ;D

'Nuff -- lest we put Louise off !  (But I do like this new "Mr Taylor" style -- just think how difficult it would be for conflict to arise if we all addressed each other by title and surname: "I say, Mr Ander, I just wondered what you might think about this latest hypothesis of mine concerning sweetness and whole onions ?".  "Spot on, old chap : couldn't have put it better myself.".  Or something like that !).

Oh Dear, me is thinking that Mr Taylor is in for a good old arse smacking

Wot, for paying a compliment : surely not !

No, but the feedback is good.  However, before buying, I would be inclined to ask previous buyers whether they have successfully cooked tandoori chicken (or tikka) in the oven, rather than just the breads at which it seems to be aimed (if it is your intention to cook meat as well as bread in the oven, that is).

For about the last fifteen years, I have been using a glazed ceramic coffee filter cone to make my coffee -- they are simple, quick and efficient.  But yesterday, when I came to take one out of the top shelf of the dishwasher, I noticed it was still dirty.  So I left in in there, intending to re-wash it with last night's dishes (I have spares for just such emergencies). 

Last night I cooked a curry (of course) -- Chicken Madras with Samphire -- moved the cone to a different location (just in case that one spot wasn't getting the full force of the water), put in the various curry utensils and dishes (all heavily stained and curry/oil-laden) and turned the dishwasher on.

When I got up this morning, I opened the dishwasher, and was staggered to see that the coffee filter cone was just as dirty as before;  I checked everything else, and all else was spotless.  Thinking that either the glaze had started to break up, or that the cone had inadvertently been exposed to great heat, searing the stains on, I removed it from the dishwasher intending to spray it with Dettox "Mould and Mildew" spray (my standard way of dealing with heavily-stained things, including turmeric stains).  To my absolute amazement, the stains just rubbed off the cone as I moved it, from the contact with my fingers alone.  A quick rinse under the tap, and it was spotless, ready for my morning coffee.

So what is the explanation, chaps (and chapesses) ?  How comes one utensil, made of glazed ceramic and not heavily stained, remains impervious to the best efforts of the dishwasher, in two different locations, while other things, heavily coated and stained with curry, come out spotless ?

Yours, staggered.

Fair points that I agree with 100 per cent and practise myself CA but in the same feign I believe vegetarians should make available meat dishes if the majority of quests are carnivorous - even if they have to don gloves and nose peg if necessary. It's just about good hosting - all vegetarians that I have come across just appear to think that they are excluded from this or just do not feel as if they need to go out their way like they expect us carnivorous folk to do.

I strongly disagree.  Let us suppose that you were Korean, and ate dog as a normal part of your diet : would you really expect that if you were invited to dinner at the home of some of your British friends, they would serve dog meat to you ?  I suspect not : you would (I think) fully understand that whilst it might be considered acceptable to eat dog meat in Korea, the British attitude to dogs is very different.
    Vegetarians are, in the main, vegetarians because they disagree with the idea that animals are food; it would be, in my opinion, just as unreasonable to expect them to forget their principles and serve something that they would not eat themselves (meat) as it would be to expect the average British dog-lover to serve dog.
