I cut some steaks off a money muscle pork roast (Coppa), dredged them in Lemon Pepper, Season Salt, Cumin, Cayenne seasoned Flour, seared them in Olive Oil and Butter. Meanwhile I sliced an onion French style and caramelized them. I removed the steaks after they had a nice sear, added some of the seasoned flour and some chicken stock to make a pan gravy, added the onions, then the steaks and let them braise. Served with herb and garlic mashed potatoes. My take on Zwiebelschnitzel. Cheers!
 
I am hoping you all sage minds can help me help a friend. She wants a wok. She needs some help on what to buy and how to use. Much appreciated in advance friends, thanks!
 
Turns out you can use your brewing burner for cooking food too. I used it to get a great sear on some scallops.

I cook on my brewing burner more than I brew on it, as you have probably seen in pictures I posted :) I cook just about everything out on the back porch that would stink up the house, because my vent hood inside just blows air through a little charcoal filter then back into the room, instead of exhausing outside. I have very good low temp control on it when needed, but then I can crank it up for crawfish boils and the like :)

I like my two.
Smaller cast iron, large carbon steel. Both usually used on gas range but have done coals/campfires.

I didn't care for either counter-top electric models, but its been 20+ years. They may have improved.

I've never used one on an electric range, the cast iron might hold the heat, but I would be concerned about getting it to high heat.
 
Electric stove, thanks!

In my opinion, electric ranges don't get hot enough to justify a quality wok purchase.

And of the standard flat bottomed 'woks' should be okay, but results won't be the same as cooking with high btu gas and quality wok.

Mine is from China and is over 40 years old. Not sure what kind it is, some kind of hand hammered carbon steel...
