Re: Wok Cooking? Do you? Reevaluating my cookware…What To Keep, What To Toss…

I had a hand hammered wok which I used so often for vegetable dishes as well as stir fry.

 

Whwn I changed to a glass cook top, the eye heat isn't as constant as a stove with coil burners. 

I would be cooking and lose heat, then it would start again.

Off, on, off, on.  It drove me nuts.  I use a frying pan now for more contact to the heat source.

I have a large one and don't use it very often but when I want to use it, it's there and I'm glad. It stays on top of the stove. But tonight I stir-fried spinach in garlic and olive oil and had 2 eggs with cheese in the same skillet for dinner. 

eta I break out the big one when I want to toss cook a variety (and volume) of veggies and a skillet wouldn't work for that. It does take up a lot of space on the stovetop that's for sure, but I guess I'm used to that.
