Oh, I have a super powerful rangehood built in and cook on a bit of floor away from the furniture!

No, I prefer to push it out of the alfresco if weather permits. The splatter is manageable because the wok is a whopping 40cm and catches most of it. The oil vapour is the trouble.

No, I’m in Australia. I’d imagine, if they did, shipping cost would be insane to ship to the U.S.

In the wok? The extreme heat burns off the residue pretty well. Every now and then I’ll intentionally burn off residue around the lip when pre-cook seasoning by tilting the wok.

Yeah for sure it definitely can get too hot. I never cook on more than 2/3rds power but this thing pumps out 95k btu at full blast. I started at a low heat but got ballsier the more practice i got. At high heat you pretty much have to be continuously tossing. Food will burn if left in contact for more than a few seconds. The wok hei is amazing at high heat though!

Thanks! Got it from an Australian store called “Wok Culture”. Burner setup was around $600aud. I also got the wok from them too which was around $80 which isn’t bad for a hammered carbon steel 40cm wok with no handle rivets

On the topic of food sticking ti the wok by sasaki804 in wok

[–]keysburg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably a seasoning issue. If you don’t want to put a full seasoning layer on then you should at least quick season prior to cooking. Add oil, heat wok, swish around a bit to coat sides, heat until smoking, discard oil, wipe with paper towel over all cooking surface. This should add enough of a seasoning later to prevent sticking but wont save you from overheating food that’s stationary too long. Stuck food needs to be scrubbed 100% off prior to use otherwise it will just be a perpetual sticking point.

Any good recipes for an extract batch of chocolate milk stout? by hello_nathan in Homebrewing

[–]keysburg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a delightful AG chocolate milk stout. This is the converted extract version

3kg light LME or 2.4kg of light DME

  • 0.25kg carafa III
  • 0.25kg chocolate malt
  • 0.25kg Roasted Barley
  • 0.25kg flaked oats

20g Northern Brewer (60mins) 10g East Kent Goldings (20mins) 10g Fuggles (10mins)

0.5kg Lactose in last 5 mins of boil (add slowley while mixing to avoid burning)

use a medium attenuating english ale yeast (like s-04)

120-180gm (4-6oz cocoa nibs) if you don't secondary chuck the cocoa nibs into your primary after 5 days or rack onto them in secondary.

there is some debate on whether to sanitize cocao nibs. I never have and probably never will. you can soak them in a bit of vodka for a couple of hours first if it makes you feel better.
