Tramontina Barbeque Wok (26cm)

Product Information

Any meats or perishable vegetables should be removed from the fridge at least 10-15 minutes before you’re ready to cook too, since cold food hitting a hot wok won’t turn out properly. If you’ve washed any vegetables, take the time to dry them so they don’t end up steaming in the wok instead of searing. All of this applies to wok cooking in general, and the only thing that’s different when using a wok on the grill is the wait time for the coals to heat. You’ll want to prepare your grill as you normally would and let the coals ash over, but rather than spread them out, leave them piled in the center; when they’re covered in white ash and still glowing red within, you can set down your wok and let it soak up the heat up for 10 minutes or so, then start cooking.

Any meats or perishable vegetables should be removed from the fridge at least 10-15 minutes before you’re ready to cook too, since cold food hitting a hot wok won’t turn out properly. If you’ve washed any vegetables, take the time to dry them so they don’t end up steaming in the wok instead of searing. Whether you’re throwing together a speedy stir fry, braising meats and veggies, or dabbling in a little deep- frying, the trusty wok is a worthwhile addition to your kitchen. Available in a variety of styles and sizes (and prices!), there’s plenty on the market to choose from. Soy sauce is one of the oldest forms of fermentation in human history. Its deep, sweet and quintessentially umami flavour comes mostly from long-fermented (traditionally underground) soybeans. Since a properly heated wok cooks food fast, it’s important to have all your ingredients prepped and laid out before you even begin. This means you need to read the recipe, wash, dry, mince, chop, and slice everything that requires it, and measure it all out into small bowls or onto plates (as many as necessary; ingredients that get added to the wok at the same time can be held in the same bowl, but otherwise it’s best to keep them separate).Add another splash of oil. Add the chilli and the onion mix. Stir for a second before adding the other mix. Flip and toss the vegetables in the wok if you can, and keep the vegetables moving with a wooden spoon, turning them over every few seconds so they all keep feeling the heat at the bottom of the wok. Season with a good pinch of sugar, salt and pepper. Flank is the perfect choice for the Tao Burner. We had fun cooking two flanks over just a dozen hot briquets.
