I am convinced you were a sea creature of some sort in another lifetime!
Dude...that hammered copper pan and top is pretty as hell....can you take a pic of it for me...so I can see it close up?

still am,mate...got gills behind me ears,just ask me ladies!!
here's your pics,mac.it's a portuguese cataplana,the original pressure cooker.the portuguese invented it many moons ago.hinged clam shell of copper lined with tin.the clamps hold the two halves together but it's designed not be a perfect seal.that way a little steam escapes,so no need for a safety valve but the pressure is sufficient to speed up cooking with little loss of moisture in the food.can also be used open,as a wok.as you can see,when it's open it fits perfectly onto two of my hob plates.double wok,wicked or what?included a pic of the rainbow that i can see from my window,for good luck!

I'm stealing that grill pan. I've been wanting one for a while.

 

[CarolPa]

not worth the air fare,mac!less than £10/$15 from ikea.rectangular,so it can cover two hob plates for even heat ditribution,handle folds for storage,it lasts for yonks & i usually don't use any oil,the nonstick is that good.i give all of my griddle pans some "hammer" & i'm only on my second one in 8 years or so.it also "does what it says on the can",as you have seen!damn clever those swede's!!

far too modest,cazza!sure your grub looks/tastes just grrrrrrreat(tony the tiger moment!!)!!

It's taken me a while, but I'm finally getting the hang of my (not so new anymore) grill and it's burner arrangements when cooking chicken wings.

Those are some tasty looking wings pac. What kind of sauce is on them?

I don't see your serving!!! Didn't you fix enough for yourself?

 

[pacanis]

Thanks Rocket. I used a variation of Fi's marmalade sauce. Orange marmalade:sriracha: balsamic vinegar in a 1:1/2:1/4. The wings were dusted with Penzey's black & red (black pepper & red pepper) when they went on the grill. They had a nice flavorful bite to them.

Fi, I've got some left over, but you better hurry.
