Where did all the Karahi/Indian Woks go?
Thanks qwerty. I saw that one, only it seems a lot smaller -- just 10". The old one was 13". I even tried through Australia where it was still available until last year. Only for some reason they wouldn't mail it to me despite my offering to pay whatever it cost (and the pan was much cheaper, too).

OK, I get the hint. Didn't mean to upset so many aluminium fans. Surprised my spelling didn't get shot down, too ;-)
I guess the rumour stuck with me more than others. Although, fascinating metal. Just read up on wiki about it. Napolean III prized it more than gold. Only his very special guests got to eat from utensils made from it.

Thanks so much. Really appreciate your advice. I get to Santa Clara quite a lot for work. So now I'll take a side trip. Cheers!

I'm in SF (but British). I've come across the aluminium ones but there are too many health issues with the metal. And the stainless steel ones in Indian grocery stores seem too flimsy. I'll have to do what you have done, and try from India. Thanks for your advice.
Where did all the Karahi/Indian Woks go?
I bought a Calphalon Karahi/Indian Wok about 3 years ago. Unfortunately, a friend, thinking he was doing me a favor washing up after a dinner party, used wire wool and scraped off some of the surface of the base of the pan. Calphalon no longer sells the product, but I cannot even find a good Karahi alternative (high quality). Even All-Clad and Le Creuset's versions have been discontinued. I've googled and found reference to all of the above, but as soon as I link to the site, there's nothing. And yet, I see that Indian Cuisine is more popular than ever -- perhaps only in restaurants!! I would be ecstatic for any info on where I could find any of the above or a similar high quality alternative. Thanks.
