@camerachica73 2 года назад

I tried seasoning my new wok at the weekend and I got concerned that my tiny gas ring hadn't blued the steel enough, so I called up my local Thai restaurant and asked if they would do it. They thought it was a really random request, but it came back blackened and silky plus I got to enjoy a bowl of prawn pad thai at the same time.

@SleepySeel 2 года назад

Use a hand held blow torch instead of the gas rings with peanut oil. Much easier.

Water-balling thing is known as the Leidenfrost effect, apparently.

@woutervanr 2 года назад

It is indeed. You can find quite a few nice videos showing it of on here. This effect is also the reason you can poor liquid nitrogen over your hand and not really be bothered. It evaporates so quickly that it forms a protective barier of gas. Afaik there isn't really much use for it expect science demonstrations and seeing if a pan is hot enough.

I lived and worked in China for many years, in many different places, and, being single, it was always easier and better to dine outside in either a simple restaurant or having streetside food (da pai dan) late at night. The experience is out of this world and you get to try dishes as far removed from your local Chinese chippy as you could ever imagine. Superb! Happy days too!

In Thailand most stir-fly oil use usually soybean oil or palm oil since it's quite cheap and high smoke point. Other oil is used too but it's more expensive. Some food stalls or restaurants even use pork fat oil for extra flavor. Peanut oil is actually rare here.

Fantastic! For the last ten years I have always used carbon steel frying pans made by the French firm Buyer (pronounced Boo yay) I seasoned those the same way, then a couple of years back bought a James sized wok and did the same. I would never buy a non-stick pan again, I'm sick of the non-stick breaking up and requiring a new pan every year. Now I need to practice tossing a tea towel.

@nikushim6665 2 года назад

"there alot of peanut allergies, so i kinda stay clear of peanut oil" Thing is refined peanut oil perfectly safe for those with peanut allergies, it does not contain the proteins that trigger a autoimmune response. Its a vary high smoke point, neutral flavor and can run for quite awhile before degrading and having to be changed out. Which is why so many restaurants use it including fast food.

Did a renovation for a wok burner and dishwasher but sadly the domestic gas pressure here is controlled, quite tame and disappointingly, I can NEVER get the wok hot enough on my wok burner. But still stir fry a lot. Love it!

@SacredShiro 2 года назад

I was taught that it's the oil that polymerizes when exposed to high heat and it creates a non-stick patina. First time seasoning can be repeated 2 or 3 times till your wok looks black and shiny like obsidian, although once is usually enough for more cases.
