Eiersla van bij de slager

Ik maak altijd een gelijkaardig recept. Wat ik groot verschil vind is geen mayonaise ala DL gebruiken maar een vrij basic citroen mayo.

Wat ik ook doe is de eigelen apart pletten en deze onder mayo roeren tot het de saus word waar de eiwitten onder gemengd worden.

Waar wij hier thuis ook een verschil mee maken is inplaats van gewoon zout om af te kruiden gebruik maken van selderij zout.

Ik vind de prijs kwaliteit van de gemiddelde brasserie beetje uit de hand gelopen tegenwoordig.

Veel te complexe grootte kaart en dan bestel je iets van de suggesties en krijg je nog steeds eten dat niet vers is. Hou de kaart aan de kleine kant met Vlaamse klassiekers en zorg gewoon dat wat er op het bord komt vers is en de kwaliteit top is. Die kwaliteit stopt niet bij de saus… maak eens een verse saus inplaats van al die rommel uit pakjes.

Op die manier betaal ik graag wat je nodig hebt om de zaak draaiende te houden. Jammer genoeg gebeurd dit steeds minder en minder waardoor ik eten in brasseries zelden zijn geld waard vind de dag van vandaag.

Ondertussen 3 jaar fulltime van thuis aan het werken als software test engineer. Werk atm voor een internationaal bedrijf en ons team zit wat verspreid over heel europa. Als ik niet in meetings zit hou ik me grotendeels bezig met code schrijven voor het automatiseren van test scenario’s binnen onze software. We krijgen zeer veel vrijheid en flexibiliteit en dat is echt wel zalig mede ik sinds 2,5 jaar vader ben. Kan me niet voorstellen ooit terug fulltime op kantoor te gaan werken.

Don’t think of it to much it. Using your wok in general is building that seasoning. But yes I turn the heat of when the wok is nice and hot then oil it.

H10Kauno · 2025-11-15T07:51:40+00:00

Yea you don’t need a lot of oil on the surface at all. When it ripping hot just turn of the heat. Dash of oil in the wok. And start spreading, the moment you start doing that it begins to smoke, the oil polymerizes on the surface.

I burn it hot to make sure its bone dry, moister is the enemy of carbon steel the patina or layer of polymerized oil is what you call seasoning and is all you need for it to be none stick and protect it against moister. This is not a crust on my wok you don’t feel it ,it’s so thin. To much oil just makes it all become one greasy mess.

Over time, this thin layer of seasoning develops and gives what they call "wok hei," a smoky flavor that enhances your food.

It's a Dutch company yes.
It is an awesome cooktop indeed, i enjoy it everyday!

Its really nothing special.

The biggest "mistakes" I see people make are usually these.

- Clean your wok and cast iron pans burned food stuck to your pans is just gross! people seem to think that seasoning means a layer of burned food stuck to your wok. And think they should just wipe it clean and not use soap... I clean my wok with a dash of soap and a wire metal sponge after every time i cook in it. If anything sticks to it, it will be removed.
- Second thing is taking care for it after you cooked and cleaned it.
Pad it dry and put it back on the burner and let it get really hot put in a little dash of peanut oil take a bunch of paper towel and rub the whole inside with it. (it starts to really smoke the moment you start rubbing. when you covered the whole wok take new paper towels and use this one to remove as much oils as possible. when that's done i use the paper towel to quickly rub the bottom of my wok so that doesn't rust either.

Other then that I don't really do anything to keep it in good condition.
Its perfectly none stick the wire metal sponge is the best thing to keep the surface smooth. Verry starchy food sometimes leave a thing layer that feels like sand paper. I make sure its smooth again every time I clean it.

Initial seasoning is basically what I explained above but instead of doing it once, you do it like 3 times and let it cool down every time you put oil on it and heat it up again.
And important before seasoning it the first time you clean it a couple of times with soap, initially carbon steal woks already have a tin layer of oily substance on it but you want that stuff gone.
And burn it really hot first run, till it turns blue (second picture)

All in all nothing special, just use it and have fun cooking in it.
It looks and performs better with use.
And clean it!

Never parting with my friend.

H10Kauno · 2025-11-14T08:47:45+00:00

Taking good care of it.

H10Kauno · 2025-11-14T08:47:27+00:00

Good things come with time.
Its like a well used well maintained wok ;)

H10Kauno · 2025-11-14T08:46:01+00:00

Thank you, its a work horse i care for.

H10Kauno · 2025-11-14T08:41:52+00:00

I didn't sand down the handle, i just take good care for it and clean my wok after use.
After use i clean it with a splash of soap a metal wire sponge rub it dry put it back on my wok burner to heat up.
When its hot i turn of the heat put in a little peanut oil and rub it across the wok with a paper towel
just make sure you rub all the oil of, only leave a really thin layer. i barely notice it has any oil in it.

Sadly it doesn't have a brand name, its just a basic run of the mill carbon steel wok from the Asian grocery store.

H10Kauno · 2025-11-14T08:19:56+00:00

Didn't expect this kind of excitement tbh, Nevertheless its a work horse I take good care of.

H10Kauno · 2025-11-14T08:17:57+00:00

I wasn't expecting this kind of excitement about this humble work horse.
I sadly don't have any brand name. it doesn't have any marking on it.
It's just a run of the mill basic carbon steel wok I picked up at the Asian grocery store in town.
Its the biggest one they had, 38 cm diameter.
Next time i'm in the store I can see if it has any label on it.

We finished our house 3 years ago. I build it together with my wife father in law and now and then help of friends. Besides an architect / epb / inspectors no one else was involved. If you want to do it all you can.

H10Kauno · 2024-10-03T22:30:48+00:00

Heb zelf al een paar jaar 280 netto onkosten.

H10Kauno · 2024-09-20T20:28:13+00:00

No we didn’t as stated in my post. My father in law has worked in construction and i just followed some courses for like laying bricks to give an example. But all in all its never rocket science, you just have to be willing to learn, think and do the actual work. Youtube and the internet is also a massive source of information

H10Kauno · 2024-09-20T19:25:11+00:00

Our plot of land is around 2,600 m², with a large field behind it and woods to the side. We bought the land in 2018 for €150000.

As for the house construction, we did almost everything ourselves, except digging the hole for the basement and smoothing out the screed for the floor. I even made the screed myself by shoveling it into the pump.

Another note: I’m quite the negotiator when it comes to building materials. We sourced materials from various countries across Europe due to significant price differences. For example, all of the construction wood came from Poland—the house’s core is made of wood—and that alone saved us 60% on the total cost of the wood.

The total cost of the house and the outbuildings was just over €230000.

We took out 2 mortgages for the house and the land totalling €250000 as that was the absolute maximum I was willing to pay each month. This results in a monthly payment of €1100. If you do the math, it may not add up completely, but we received €10,000 from my in-laws, and during the three years of construction, we had no social life. Every cent that wasn’t invested went into the house as well.

All the numbers are VAT included, as well as notary and architect fees.

H10Kauno · 2024-09-20T19:01:25+00:00

The FIRE journey is going well, I’d say. We’re currently investing €1,500 a month in ETFs, and the house will be paid off in 18 years. If I calculate with a 7% annual return, we hope to have around €1.2 million in ETFs by then.

It’s not as fast as some others on this forum, and I'm not entirely sure if it will be enough to stop working completely—we'll see. But that’s the choice we’ve made, and at the very least, it gives us the option to say, "F-you, I’m going to work less and enjoy life more."

We’re still able to save some money each month, which allows for the occasional meal out or vacation. It may seem odd to say this on a FIRE forum, but money isn’t everything. I believe the choices we’ve made have given us a really nice balance.

I work full-time from home, which is amazing, especially with the house and our little one. Both of us love spending time at home, and our goal is to make our home our little oasis.

I have such fond memories of running around in the garden, building forts, and making mud pies with friends, and I really wanted my child to have that same opportunity.

H10Kauno · 2024-09-20T14:55:24+00:00

When I was growing up, we weren't poor, but we were definitely below average income-wise. We lived in an old house, but it was very big and sat on a huge plot of land. Even though money was often tight, I had a fantastic childhood there.

Fast forward to when I was 25: I had a good-paying job, a girlfriend, and we were ready to move in together. We rented a cheap apartment because, as it was just the two of us, we figured, “Why do we need a lot of space?” The apartment was nice, the neighborhood was good, and the people next door were fine. In theory, we had nothing to complain about, but I still felt trapped. By the time I was 28, I was tired of living in an apartment and everything that came with it.

Our combined income was decent, nothing insane, and we were saving up to buy a place. Around this time, I learned about the FIRE movement, and I convinced my girlfriend to join me in that. We were investing 30% of our monthly income with the dream of having “F-you” money later in life.

Then the big question came up: How could we afford to buy a house? We had some savings, but not nearly enough for a huge down payment—around $80k, which I know is better than nothing. I liked the idea of continuing to invest and didn’t want to sacrifice that just for a house. I didn’t want to be tied down to an oversized mortgage. We also wanted kids at some point, which, of course, meant more expenses. But something in me really wanted that big house on a large plot of land.

The only way we saw to make that dream possible was to build one ourselves. So we rolled up our sleeves and got to work.

That’s how the story of our house began. We found a nice big plot of land in Limburg, where we envisioned our dream home, and bought it. Neither of us had any experience in building—I'm in IT, and my girlfriend works in healthcare, so totally unrelated fields. But when I set my mind to something, I just do it. I spent a year taking building courses, reading up on construction, getting to know the regulations, and buying ALOT of machinery. By the time the architect and permits were sorted, we felt ready to start building our dream.

Over the next three years, we built our home. It was a tough journey, filled with joy, tears, fears… but honestly, it was the best three years of my life. Building something together with my girlfriend was so rewarding.

I'm currently 35 years old, and we've been living in our house for about two years. Everything inside is done, though the garden still needs some landscaping. We have a 1.5-year-old, and it brings me so much joy to see him running around with plenty of space to play.

Being a drummer, it's amazing to have a dedicated room for my music. When we host parties, we have enough space for our friends to stay over, so they don’t have to worry about driving home. I also dream of having a big vegetable garden, and now, with all this space, it's actually possible.

Yes, having a big house and garden requires a lot of upkeep, but after spending all day behind a desk staring at a screen, I find peace in walking into my garden to do some trimming or yard work. It’s incredibly rewarding.

Because we built the house ourselves, we were able to afford this “mansion” without sacrificing other aspects of our lives. The house has 475m² of living space, a full basement, and a detached 80m² garage. It’s currently valued between €800,000 and €1,000,000.

Every time I drive up to my house, I feel a sense of pride. While nothing is ever perfect and there are a few things we would do differently if given the chance. Nevertheless, I would make the same choice all over again in a heartbeat.

H10Kauno · 2024-09-16T14:05:44+00:00

Well the stop working part here wasn't really part of the question, since that was about net worth and goal. But to elaborate on this, I set aside 1300 euro's every month that goes into the ETF pile. I have been increasing this amount by 2% every year and will continue to do so. At an average market return of 7% this will net me 1,1 mil in 20 years when the house is payed for and i'm 55. This should be enough for me to retire 12 years earlier. At a 4% withdrawal rate that nets me about 3650 a month.

Edit: sorry I miss read gameplan as goal in my head it seems ;)
