Wok Score and Seasoning Thirdeye style! Pr0n
 

My wife came home yesterday from a little shopping and said " I got a little surprise for you" I have been looking for a 16" wok lately and not really having much luck. And lo and behold she pulls this shinny new wok out of a bag, When I finally picked my jaw up from the ground, I was amazed to see this All-Clad 16" beauty. She found it in the clearance bin at the local Home Goods Store. The price.....$65.00 marked down from the original sticker price of $ 265.00. SCORE.

So, I got up this morning like a little kid at Christmas ready to play with my new toy. Oh Fark, I didn't have a spider ring to hang it in my Kamado.

So I made my own out of a Tomato ring....Another score...Free!

Went to my chrome bookmarks and found the tutorial posted by Thirdeye on how to season my new found beauty and started gettin busy!

Many Thanks Thirdeye. Power to the Brethren. Now it time to go shopping and get some PRAWNS for a stirfry. Yippie.

Thanks for lookin,
Jed

Looking good! The only thing I will caution you about is using the tomato cage for a spider. They are typically made of galvanized metal, which may release zinc when hot, particularly that close to the fire.

Thanks for the input, I just used it to season the wok.

Wow, majorly jealous!

Beautiful looking wok! Now get cookin' :grin:

Awesome pick up. A wok will be my first pick when my Big Joe Kamado arrives in a couple of weeks.

Great fine by your wife Nicely seasoned Looking forward to future Pics

Even using for seasoning only you still probably inhaled the noxious fumes. Hopefully you were on the upwind side.

Now way did he inhale enough to be bad, you need ALOT of fumes to get serious galv poisoning. At most he could have possibly got the ****s, but i doubt it.

Anyways, i have been interested in a wok, anyone use a kettle as the base?

Hometruckin a gonna make stir fry pron!:whoo:

You should get many years of great cooking out of that one.

WOW I say wifefe is a keeper. :clap2:

Very true, but I have a feeling it's incremental, so why do it at all when there are other ways?

Hey Jed, did the home goods have any more? I am up in boca/west palm and wouldnt mind one of these. do u still have the sticker? I could call my store and see if they have it in the computer! :) Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry, the tag was burned off during seasoning. This was a close-out sale in a bargain bin.
