A wok is great for searing stuff and then putting some of it aside, so that you can cook several things at once. Nothing else has ever come close to it.

But that’s the limit of the wok. It’s a fucking amazing device, but it’s not the ultimate cooking ninja super appliance that does it all.

Oddly enough when there are fuck the mexicans or fuck the poles posts, people are vaguely interested.

I don’t really care. Being French here means you’re being downvoted.

Just like I’m donwoting US users.

I wouldn’t send money. I would buy beer and play a video game instead.

If we were close, I might send a fuck you card.

I feel bad for people who truly can not afford good kitchen stuff

Now there’s a lot of people who can’t.

Because kitchenware is actually hideously expensive. And even here, in France where we have access to the fundamental cooking industry tools - ok maybe slightly less-)

(Ok, I said I was in France, it’s cool, feel free to downvote me now)

Sure, if it’s heavy enough.

You aren’t cooking many things if all you’re using is a wok.

I find it amusing that as someone that actually spent years learning how to cook, and that I took the took the time to understand the chemistry and logic of cooking, I’m downvoted because:

• I’m french (because a fair number of users are idiots, and yet I’m still here to face them)
• or they believe they can cook with a microwave (a US affectation)
• or maybe it’s just a jest across the atlantic, since we made them a country, they hate us for some reason as a joke, haha.

I was giggling uncontrollably, so I knew that a US guy had to have replied to one of my posts with something hilarious. Of course I wasn’t wrong.

Well, yes and no. Ceramic is roughly on par with Teflon nowadays.

But for example when your searing meat, inox is usually considered superior (it would be ok for eggs though).

When you’re roasting potatoes, ceramic is definitely at the bottom of the list.

Each dish has its appropriate tool.

Cooking some things.

Ceramic is the equivalent of non stick stuff.

In this thread are people trying to use one tool for everything.

You don’t use a screwdriver for everything.

Likewise, in the kitchen, you don’t use the same utensil for everything.

And I’m sorry, for the people that have one fork, one knife one knife, one pan. No. Unless you live on shit food, you can’t cook with just that.

If you actually want tasty food, you’ll need some hardware. There’s just no way around it.

Disclaimer, I’m French, and an actual cook (non practising).

Ceramic is great for some things.

Meanwhile, I’m like “huh, maybe you should learn how to cook, but you do your stuff, that’s your own business”.

Wait, could I move to the US and rent a sexy inmate for my mansion? To parade in front of my geek friends? And play video games with?

(I mean I’d cruelly punish him of course, being in the US, like I wouldn’t put any toppings on his ice cream, or something unusually painful, or whatever the law says you have to do).

Just don’t call the US police.

For me,it’s usually when I read the documentation.

Who are you and what are you doing in my kitchen ? I’m calling the police !

You’d need a very small saddle.

It was written in the newspaper. Right there !
