Who cooks with one? Been wanting a good one for 2 years and wife got it for x-mas. Trying my first recipe tonight! :scared

Any tips? Getting ready to clean and season it now. Where is Terry Ray when you need him.

Looks like a nice 1st recipe. I make beef and broccoli often. I try to use the lite soy sauce. So much sodium.

Have fun and enjoy!

You season a pan every time. Rub a light layer of Crisco on that bad boy, and place it in the oven on 450-500 for about an hour for the first time, or for a major seasoning.....other than that, just wipe it on, and off after using.

As gross as it might sound......you don't wash a decent pan, either. Kinda like a grill. Just put a little soapy water on a paper towel and clean the pan that way.

I'm assuming you have a cast iron wok?

You bastid. Why didn't you tell me that! According to everything I read and 12 Youtube vids you do it on the stove. Working pretty good on the grill.
