Who here is good at Wok cooking?
I just got a new Wok for Christmas and need some input of things I need and need to do so as not to ruin it or destroy my first attempt at cooking in it.

Re: Who here is good at Wok cooking?
well I figured out a little. do not use frozen green beans...thaw them first. and oh my does it cook chicken fast. I did the slice and dice on 2 lbs of chicken breast and it cooked in about 5-7 miinutes, way better then my Echo pan... I'll save it for burgers.

Re: Who here is good at Wok cooking?
well after reading a bit about them on the web I found I have a steel teflon coated one. my biggest concern is how to tell when its at the proper heat. the info I see the most about cooking with one is to watch for smoke when it reachs its optimum heat. I have an electric stove so its easy to set the heat, but I have to learn where it needs to be to get the right cooking heat without seeing smoke.

Re: Who here is good at Wok cooking?
if the food does not cook, not enough heat....if the pan melts or warps, too much heat...hope this helps......

Re: Who here is good at Wok cooking?
I have to agree, gas is the way to go when using a wok.

Re: Who here is good at Wok cooking?
well I did ok for the little I used it yesterday. even on an electric stove its a huge difference in fry cooking. the fact it has a flat bottom makes the diff as compaired with a standard wok. if it didn't touch the burner then yes it would be very hard to work with.
