Built for saucier takeaway mains The deep no.9 is the format kitchens reach for when curries run wet — vindaloo, dhansak and soup-curries that risk lid-spill at standard depth. The 2-inch wall gives liquid head-room without changing the footprint, so the same no.9 lid still seats correctly. Pair against the standard-depth no.9 foil container for drier mains such as rice, biryanis and pilau. Aluminium holds heat through delivery and tolerates oven reheat on the receiving end.
