I do, but I never use it any more.

Yeah, use it loads. Can't beat a stir fry in a decent wok Happy

I had a wok but threw it away. All this keep it 'oiled' or whatever just made it sticky when I came to use it. Big frying pan (can't remember proper name) or takeaway is easier.

Iron age cookware from a time when they had to cook over an open fire.

Stick it under your car when you change the oil.

I own one, love a stir fry but doesnt it go cold ever so quick no matter how hot it comes out of the pan.
Report boxingthefox • December 3, 2015 9:39 PM GMT
Yep it does IS, has to be eaten reasonably quickly, I suppose it's because the ingredients are sliced/cut small??.

Had mine for over twenty years and it will last a lifetime.

To get the all over black patina they do need to be washed, without scraping, and then oiled and wiped off with towel roll.

When you get a takeaway it is still hot for ages after delivery.

The reason is that you have to use a gas hob, with a large centre burner. No good otherwise!

I used a wok for almost all cooking.
That's correct re the upkeep of the wok.
Infact many hotels and restaurants don't wash them just clean them in oil.
I do wash them but never soak them or leave them draining, and apply oil straight away after

If you can see the chef at the Chinese, you will see that he just uses a brush and water to clean between meals.

Also the flame is fierce, and sounds like a jet engine!

As far as diy is concerned, your best bet is to finish it for a minute or so in the micro-wave (cue micro-wave police).

Re-heating is all I ever use mine for as wouldn't dream of attempting to cook in it!
