Just want to promote the wok as being a very versatile and energy efficient, environmentally friendly, and time saving device. More people should learn how to use it. I've been using this ancient technology for decades and actually we run a small catering company in Vancouver.
Why is the wok so fuel efficient? Thats the way it was designed. High heat for a very short cooking time and resulting in nice crispy and crunchy vegetables etc. Woks can be used for boiling, steaming, stir frying, deep frying, and baking. Mostly, woks are used for stir frying and steaming. Woks are very versatile and portable. I used to carry a smaller wok in my backpack as I travelled around the world and stayed in hostels. I did my own cooking quite often instead of eating out at restaurants. I've never spent more than a few minutes preparing a meal for two or three people with a wok. Lets say 30 minutes tops.

Hi there Wandering Wok Chef
I think that a wok might be the right tool for me in the kitchen because I really like cooking with high heat. I don't have the patience for slow food. Make it fast. What I would like to know is - can you make good nutritious food - I'm thinking of dieting after this rich food we're eating on our 6 day holiday.
My husband really knows how to keep his wife happy by bringing me here.
