free wok demos tomorrow - Peoria, IL

RRP · February 2016

After teaching BGE cooking classes for the past 9 years I'm backing off. Tomorrow I will be demoing using a wok on the egg. I plan to serve at 11:30 12:00 12:30 and 1:00. Location is Hearth & Patio, 8304 N University. In between I'll have BGE Kettle Korn to munch on. Weather forecast is a pleasant 61º and sunny.

61 degrees is jean shorts weather! Have fun tomorrow!

You will have fun doing a wok class. It's so easy, and so easy to clean up afterward. And it's great for the class. The wok is just one more of the 'must-have' EGGcessories.

Wish I could make it out there Ron. Leaving in the morning for vacation. Is this something you plan on doing often?

All jokes aside. Will someone be videoing? I'd like to see how others wok. I just do what I do and it works for me, but sometimes a better way could be found.

Not that I know of. I'm like you - I just do what I learned somewhere years ago or maybe taught myself bad habits. But I get my egg up to 325 or so with my wok in resting on a spider legs down. When I'm ready to wok I close my bottom vent entirely. Add the oil and soon thereafter the meat. When cooked to my liking I remove the meat and dump in my veggies and cook until tender. Then add meat back along with whatever sauce I'm using. Serve over white rice.

Tbent · February 2016

I'm going to try to make it over to say hello around 12:30 or 1. Hopefully this wind calms down for you.

I forgot to mention that you can feel free to use my wok video to show some of the photos of wok-cooks that people have done on the Egg.

I haven't been a fan of the few that I've tried so far, but I'm not opposed to trying more of their beer. I haven't had a chance to make it to the tap room yet either so I might as well stop in if I'm right there.

Ron I hope you enjoy doing the demos. I sure do/did when I was doing them last year. Bringing out the big guns with the wok on the first demo. Nice!

ScottNC · February 2016

I think you're going to have a HUGE crowd! Good Luck!
Bend your knees when you load up.

WOWSER - I always heard you were a giant among men, but I had no idea this big!

ScottNC · February 2016

LOL, I came across this online today when I was looking at woks, thought it was pretty humorous.

Mattman3969 · February 2016

Sounds like a blast. Hot egg, even hotter wok with the fixins speaking back to ya. Good luck & I wish I was closer so I could attend.

How did it go?

Well - here's a picture of the site where today's non-carnage took place.

Turn out was dismal which was highly due to the fact the demo was not advertised, nor was an email sent to their customer base of eggers. The owner did post something on her Face Book page. That only drew one couple, but at least they drove over clear from Galesburg. When all said and done including their staff I only fed 15. BTW your father joined us.

Jeepster47 · February 2016

Yep, I stayed through two demos and ate twice. Very informative for me ... thanks Ron.

Ozzie_Isaac · February 2016

Wish I could have gone. Sorry about the poor turn out.

Mattman3969 · February 2016

What were the dishes you served @rrp ? Tell us more please
