You have not tasted Marmite before
It is a spread that you put on your toast like Jam/butter. It is kind of difficult to explain the taste, but many people either love it or hate it. Here is a picture of Marmite

Dev/ Kugan / Nov/ suja: Thank you all for pouring in your suggestions...

Suja, so they use the trays just for the dum? so make both gravy and rice separately and mix and heat it in the oven for a while for masalas to soak in?

Kugan akka, such nice and yummy recipes..

Hello K,
Belated happy Deepavali to you and KK's friends. In reply to Priyasri's question, the Aluminum trays can be used to cook in the oven. I use them a lot. There are long ones(called full size) and 1/2 size ones. The 5 L cooker contents will fit the 1/2 size pans. But you will need 3 times that to fill a full size pan. Have used these trays for a long time now and my 2 cents worth thought. Also the pans can be heated on a stove top as well, in medium heat. I have made the briyani gravy transferred to the tray and added the rice to it and used the oven for Dum. Hope this helps. Take care.

Regards,
Suja
