Best Non-Stick Pan for Bunny Chow Curry — Why a Drier Base Needs Coated Cookware
Best Non-Stick Pan for Bunny Chow Curry — Why a Drier Base Needs Coated Cookware
TL;DR
Bunny Chow filling needs to be drier, thicker, and richer than wet curry so it doesn't soak through the bread. A non-stick pan with wide surface area (28cm) handles the brown-and-reduce process without sticking. Pick: Greenis Non-Stick 28cm Frypan with lid (R359).
Why Bunny Chow Curry Is Different
Standard curry targets ~50% liquid retention. Bunny Chow targets ~25–30% liquid. Achieving this means higher reduction at the end (high heat → coating tested), more browning of meat, and wider pan = faster reduction (28cm beats 24cm by ~30% surface area).
What To Look For
| Spec | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| 28cm diameter | Faster reduction, fits 6-person batch |
| Marble coating (PFOA-free) | Survives spice scraping better than thin Teflon |
| Aluminium body 3+mm | Heat stability under reduction |
| Lid included | Domes spice steam back into curry |
