How many of you own a wok?

I do, but I never use it any more.

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

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.

any pan will do

I have one, great for stir frys, Mrs Quasimodo had one, she only used it for ironing Quasimodo's shirts.



I'll get me coat.

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.

Yep it does IS, has to be eaten reasonably quickly, I suppose it's because the ingredients are sliced/cut small??.

And cant hold the heat?^^

true, but what are you supposed to do, eat like a pig ?

No just don't let it lie too long!.

i like to talk, drink over dinner, not just trough. Maybe that is cultural thing.

I agree. I only cook stir fry for 2.

About 5 minutes ago.

Sorry, didn't have my reading glasses on. Thought this was a question about masturbation.

Clouseau on fire as usual.

My Mates so fat he now uses a wok to iron his shirts

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!

A Hostess Trolley will solve most of your problems and of course will be a source of pride and status for her indoors.

MT is a Wycombe Wanderers fan, thinks Reading are a rival

AAAHHH he's the one!

We have one but don't use it a lot. Unless you want to get serious about Chinese cooking, a large frying almost as good really.

*frying pan

I have one put I only use it so I can sing

And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, woks's going on?

I was part of the team that decided to only sponsor the back of readings shirt as the cost of the front compared to publicity was a rip off.
England cricket far more expensive but better in the long run.

The Beeb are planning a series about the disgusting smell given off by simmering Chinese vegetables. They're calling it the BBC2 Wok Reek.

I have heard that there is a Chinese takeaway (in Manchester I think) called 'WOK AROUND THE CLOCK'!

In china they have an entire department devoted to amusing cookery utensils to keep the downtrodden proletariat amused.
