Wok cooking

To cook in a really hot wok, the best oil to use is without any doubt peanut (groundnut) oil.
It gets hotter than the rest without burning, so cooks quicker, preserving flavours and texture. Also adds a nice flavour to the flavour mix.food.

Joy, you said you use virgin oil.........I much prefer something with a little more experience.

We have a Wok. The mother in law irons her blouse on it........

My mother in law irons her bra on it!

Damn, interrupted again, oh with it, does she empty it first?

In other words I LOVE MY WOK... Had it years and now Dave Busman is going to borrow it at Southport having shared a meal with me in my van.

Joy you are just TOOOOOOO good! How can you let anyone else use it after you have cherished it for years

NO-ONE is allowed to use mine - I bought it over 15 years ago in the only chinese supermarket in Bristol at the time. Sold in a plastic bag, coated in engine grease to stop it from going rusty - it is used every day while we are at home. Our Rob knows that it is the only pan that is off limits at any time in our house. I use a non stick one in the van or should I say on the Cadac outside the van. The most versatile cooking pan in the world I say.

we use our cadack burner for stir-frying sesame oil is the best or rape oil

Bill, Sesame oil is ok for the last 10 seconds or so to add flavour.
For actual cooking it burns too easily.
Try Peanut Oil for actual cooking.
You wont go back.

I confer with the peanut oil recommendation, its what the proper chinese cook books say.

The flavour of sesame oil is lovely, but as said its to flavour not to cook with.

sesame oil burns at low temps is mainly used in restaurants to give a dish an appealing shine
