Wokin' The Big Easy
« Reply #-1 on: January 05, 2013, 05:06:54 PM »
I have both a Big Easy and an SRG.  The SRG gets used for the traditional cooks it does so well.  But my Big Easy has become my wok cooker.



I bought a really nice cast iron wok in San Francisco's Chinatown and I can't believe how great it works with the Big Easy.  I think one of the reason it works so well is because the wok is cast iron.  I doubt it would work on a hammered steel or aluminum wok.

Here are a couple of posts where I used it last Fall right after I got it.

I'm hoping with the new year I can spend a little more time here with all of you.

Nope mine is the traditional Chinese wok with the all round bottom.  Your type is the Americanized wok that's made to sit flat on a stove top.  I don't know how it would work on the Big Easy.

I know the flat bottom type wok works great.  But I prefer the round bottom and slope of the traditional Chinese wok.

Round on the bottom as well.

Flat on the bottom on the outside and round on the inside, the best of both worlds  ;)
