Can I cook in this stainless steel balti dish? I recently purchased what I believed to be a balti dish. It turned out, it was just a serving dish. 



It is described as


  A Quality Stainless Steel Balti Dish 15cm in diameter. Balti dishes are perfect for serving your Indian food &amp; Curry Dishes the traditional Restaurant way. Two handles on either side for easy handling.


Are there any obvious/common dangers cooking with this on a gas hob? Or is the risk more that the material won't take the heat and could break (spilling the food)?
I would say that is too thin to use on a hob. There isn't an Indian restaurant in the country that uses them to actually cook in: they cook in a proper pan and then dump it in a dish like this to serve.
