So, I boiled the beans with some herbs and added sea salt. I had soaked them overnight. Using the same pot, I then steamed the potato and organic carrots. In the microwave, I can cooked brown rice. The result: many days of non boring and nutritious meals! Thanks again!

Thank you. I plan to cook the beans, potato, and carrot together after soaking the beans overnight. I will add some herbs. To break the monotony, I guess I will cook for only 3 days and eat other stuff on the 4th day.

Thanks! 1. Do I soak the beans overnight? 2. How do I know when to add the carrots and potato? 3. How thick to cut the potato?

Hello, So I have in my house: 1.5 lbs dried great northern beans Several frozen kaffir lime leaves from 9 months ago 0.7lb ORGANIC baby carrots .25lb frozen pecans One large white potato (not russet) I can get onion/garlic/spice if necessary, but I have HEARTBURN, so I avoid I was thinking...

LOL. It is a back scratcher! Random! Maybe I'll try it sometime. ------------ Try it on your back...like a backscratcher. Thank you and enjoy. ----quoted text---- Hi Mrs. Chan, I got this wooden hand with the wok. What is it? Best regards, Xxxxx

Carbon steel wok from the Wok Shop in SF, but I ordered online. Since no one knoes, I sent them an email and will reply back with what they say.

Back scratcher for when I am stirring with my other hand?? :@

I've received and seasoned the wok!! I coated with grapeseed oil and baked for 20 minutes at 425. Seeing spots, I repeated the baking process. After this, I stir fried scallions on high heat until they got charred (8 min). Is my wok seasoned okay? Any tips on it's first usage and care...

Omg, bar keepers friend is my friend! Some gloves, a scotch scratch sponge, and 20 minutes later... my pot was shining clean! Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks. I'll buy some barkeepers friend next time I go the store.

Okay, so I boiled white vinegar and baking soda and scrubbed a lot using some flat head metal tools (my brush was ineffective). The comet detergent I tried earlier didn't work. I got a lot of gunk off, but still a lot remains. I guess this will take a few days... My pot has also gotten quite...

Thanks for the offer Fiona, but I found a lot of guides online for how to do this. If I have questions I'll feel free PM you for clarification!

Omg so long!? Okay, well I'll stick with the bamboo for now and keep my eyes open for steel utensils. I'll buy some mineral oil or whatever to season my wok and the bamboos.

lol... maybe the total is 404 [internet joke]. One more question actually: Which utensils and material should I buy for the carbon steel wok and stir frying? Silicone, steel, nylon? I have some bamboo ones (the round one, the flat one with holes, and the round one with holes), but they get...

Thank you everybody! I bought the wooden handle wok with a flat lid for $43.51 (a lot less than £219.00!!). wok with 2 wood spool handles: 12-inchm flat bottom $19.95 wok lids: flat lid for 12 inch wok $11.95 Subtotal 31.90...

Okay, so I'm almost decided on 12": http://www.wokshop.com/HTML/products/woks/wok-wood-handles.html As well as a flat lid: http://www.wokshop.com/HTML/products/accessories/access_lids.html I like the short wooden helper handles because storage is easier. I like the flat lid as it is easier to...

Okay, so based on what everyone said, I think carbon steel is the way to go. I want to purchase one from the Wok Shop and am leaning towards the wok shop: carbon steel wok - side handle or the wok shop: selling woks for 40 years (strange color, huh?) My coiled electric stove is 7 inch diameter...

The baking soda failed. I will get some real chemicals to do the job this weekend... hehehe

Thanks everyone! I'll consider what you all said and buy the wok after some more thought (I'm a cautious buyer).

Okay, so it looks like a stainless steel wok is what I should get. I was thinking $150 max when I meant spending good money :D, but let me think about it some more. Will I need to season the wok regardless of whether it is T304 and 18/10? Also, more thoughts from anybody is appreciated before...

Thanks! I've put baking soda and water inside and will let it sit for a while before scrubbing.

So, I am looking to replace a nonstick pan, which I have introduced many small scratches into. Doing some online research, I have decided to go with stainless steel because it should last me a lifetime and I do not want the health risks of nonstick. I also want to buy on Amazon, so that I can...

Okay, so I've messed up my stainless steel pot this time. :-) I had been using it for steaming/boiling vegetables just fine. However, a month back I let it boil dry, leading to a lot of burns in the pot. Luckily, I was able to clean off these stains with a Scotch heavy duty scrub sponge, but...

I think it may be the sourdough or black rice. I'll carefully narrow down further with time and log it ;) Well, thanks again to everyone.
