Shakin Hands With My Wok
Options

Posts: 37
I recently purchased a wok and have completed 2 fried rice cooks (semi-sucessful). My issue is even with with highly rated welding gloves purchased from Amazon, my hand is getting extremely hot in a short amount of time. Does anyone have a specific brand and model that they have had a good experience with? I also have a stainless steel wok spatula that is taking off some the seasoning from my wok - should I ditch it and go bamboo or will the wok "toughen up" the more I use it? Thanks!

Do you have the wok with metal ring handles instead of an extended wooden handle? I have some good elbow length welding gloves, but I can't hold the wok when it's ramped up. I'm not sure that's ever really going to happen.I too use a metal spatula and notice I get some scratches in the seasoning. It doesn't seem to cause sticking out anything, and over a few cooks it seems to have diminished.Love the wok/egg combination.CheersB_BFinally back in the Badger State!

If you ever go into a Chinese kitchen you will only see metal spatulas and spoons in the woks. The patina over time will have no damage done to it.
Some Wok thoughts!

These are the best I have ever come up with. Actually terry cloth. Machine washable (due for a monthly trip to the washer now!) and super-efficient. I can pick up a pizza stone that has been at cooking heat for quite a while and then look around for a place to set it, no rush. Same with any metal like cooking grid, whatever.
Amazon.com, search for Bel-Art Clavies Auto Clavie Gloves. $28 a pop, and just great!

Ooops, I goofed. I bought the 13" size at $23. They do show an 18" length at $28 but I didn't think I'd need the longer size. I'm very happy with these.John in the Willamette Valley of Oregon

I don't know if you'll find this helpful, but Indian grocery stores usually have these pincer/pliers type things:You use it to grab a hot pot on the stove, to stabilize it while you stir. It works well with woks.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.
