We recently sold an aluminium Turbotiere, or Turbot Kettle, and are pleased to have found another on this trip, as they are becoming increasingly difficult to find in good, usable, condition. This is in hammered aluminium with cast aluminium handles, and is complete with its aluminium drainer. It would not, I think, take a full-sized turbot, but is ideal for a Chicken Turbot. I remember watching a Rick Stein Cooking programme the other month, and even his Turbotiere did not have its original lid, so here we are, Rick!! The dimensions of the drainer are approx. 41cm X 34cm, and the ensemble is priced at £125.
