The wide, deep, curved sides allow a large volume of rice and meat to be layered and cooked together, with steam circulating evenly throughout the pot. The shape also makes it easier to mix and fold the biryani layers without breaking the rice grains. The aluminium construction heats up quickly and distributes heat evenly, which is important for dum cooking — the slow-steam method used to finish biryani — where consistent, gentle heat from the base is essential. The wooden handle is a traditional feature that keeps the handle cool and provides a comfortable grip when moving the pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHob Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ Gas hob\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ Electric hob\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ Ceramic hob\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e❌ Not suitable for induction hobs (aluminium is not magnetic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand wash recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWash with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA mild scourer can be used on bare aluminium – there is no coating to protect\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDry thoroughly after washing to prevent water marks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not submerge the wooden handle in water for extended periods – this can cause the wood to crack or swell\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe aluminium will naturally darken with use – this is normal and does not affect performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mastercook","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56798955995520,"sku":"742288762613","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0252\/8267\/4787\/files\/0742288762613.png?v=1763131992","url":"https:\/\/www.latifs.co.uk\/products\/26cm-aluminium-biryani-pan-tawa-wooden-handle-deep-curved-sides-dum-biryani-rice","provider":"Latifs.
