Ok, I know that isn't the way it's supposed to go, but I am super eggcited about my new Wok! Just got a 16" wok in from ceramicgrillstore.com and it is awesome. Well, at least it looks awesome. Just spent the night seasoning it, and I'll be trying something later today. One question for the world of Wokking Eggers. If I'm using a spider from ceramicgrillstore.com, should I be wokking legs up or down? Sorry if this has been beat to death, but I did a search and found nada.

Legs up so the wok isn't sitting so deeply in the egg...easier/safer to stir...still gets plenty hot.

Cool, thanks!

Ring up and legs down so the wok is higher in the egg (I think that is what Mighty Quinn meant). Have fun, wokking on the egg is awesome.
-
Yeah, that's what I meant...thanks for the clarification yellowdog.

Can someone post a picture of that? I think I might have mine upside down.....I just got mine last week and have already made 3 different stir friesLarge BGE

couple pointers.- don't use metal to stir the food, it will scratch off the seasoning,- start with a good steak fire, then tweak with experience,- prepare the food in very small bits size pieces,- small amount of oil, then aromatics, meat, hard veggies, followed by soft veggies,- keep the food moving,- use the side of the wok to hold food when needed.- you'll need a good pair of welding gloves for hand protection.- most folks use the spider in the up position.- most Americans falter at wokking by not cutting the food small enough and/or overfilling the wok, gotta fill up that big wok right, ah....wrong.- if using rice, gotta go old school, no minute stuff, and needs to be as moisture free as possible, so best to cook a day or two ahead and keep in fridge to dry.google "wok recipes" and you'll find a bunch of stuff. my two favorites in the wok are even asian. They are shrimp scampi and fajita veggies.www.ceramicgrillstore.com ACGP, Inc.
