You know it's strange but SO and I won't eat Pomfret steamed (It has a weird taste to it we think)
I will still eat it though if it's fried with a black vineger sauce.
I can bring out my sukiyaki set again
(Actually we are both quite crazy about Sukiyaki)
We actually went to buy the small iron pot (japanese style ones) to make our sukiyaki

Um, what's a rangehood? (*Feels stupid* )Originally posted by honeymouse:Whether you do a lot of frying or not, I think it's important to have a rangehood in the kitchen.

Wow you actually... enter the kitchen and observe what's going on ah?

And if you have foodbits sticking to your wok which wont comes off. Just throw in rock salt and stir fry the dry salt.
The salts helps to dry off any liquids that is making the foodbits stick to your wok. Foodbits stick only because its wet.
Like stickers on your wall or furniture. Use dry heat on them and they are easier to peel off. -
Oh reason why I'm looking around for wok is because I wanna get rid of my teflon nonstick pans Err not likely to back to them again. Didn't know there are materials other than teflon though! Can you tell me any such brands to look into?Originally posted by honeymouse:Any reason why you don't go for non-stick? Nowadays there are many different types of non-stick woks other than Teflon (if you're worried about the cancer issue). Save you a lot of time scrubbing off the food on the wok.

Isn't it unhealthy to use too much oil for the cooking?Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Problem with non stick pans/wok is that you cannot use a metal spatula on them....you might nick off the coatings and swallowed them into your stomach.
And food shouldnt stick to the wok if you use enough oil to coat it.
The wok I have at home is not a Teflon but other material. Anyway, I am using a wooden spatula for most of the cooking so it doesn't bother me.
For those who use Teflon wok/frying pan, just do not overheat it then it should be safe. Usually if you're cooking stuffs with oil, the temperature would not go over the "dangerous" level that's going to cause any health concern. That's what I heard on a TV program recently. -
Teflon is the coating as well as the Brand I think.Originally posted by choco B:Oh reason why I'm looking around for wok is because I wanna get rid of my teflon nonstick pans Err not likely to back to them again.

Supra Brand is not bad. I got one at Giant Hypermarket. They comes with Teflon coatings and without. -

i sometimes got to cook instant noodles or fry those instant food from the freeze mah
but i don't use the steamer, mum says to use the steamer to steam left over rice from the day b4 but i prefer to add abit of water and use the microwave -

Well oil burns too, like food and can turn cancerous if you dont use it properly.Originally posted by honeymouse:Isn't it unhealthy to use too much oil for the cooking?.
But if you are concern about the oil. Go for Normal Olive Oil. More expensive but healthier then normal cooking oil. I think NTUC nows has their housebrand 'Harvest' Olive Oils.
But seriously, the oil is wat makes the food taste good. Ask your tastebuds....try steaming something w/o oil and try steaming the same something with some oil drizzle on it. -

Instant food goes into microwave
Those fried stuff goes into the oven -
I forgot the brand we're currently using at home. I will go and find out tonight and let you know tomorrow.

We use normal olive oil or canola oil but the oil I really like is knife brand oil...the blend of oil is sooo wonderful -

my other half & dad loves to do the "Heat then add oil" method on the non-stick wok. it is supposed to be "ADD OIL then heat"Originally posted by honeymouse:Isn't it unhealthy to use too much oil for the cooking?

yupz stirfrying, erm okz not really but not deep frying eitherOriginally posted by elindra:Read above about no frying in my kitchen except for stir-frying -
Keep the microwave.Originally posted by Fatum:either you don't believe in nuking your food ....

*runs away ....
I dont believe in nuking my food too, but after some time with the kids....nuking is the best option.
Dont ever serve nuked food to the children though.
Studies showed that nuking food actually kills off the vitamins and essential nutrients in the food.
