SwissArmyDruid posted:The most infuriating part of that video: "you'll get cancer", loving.... Asians and "you'll get cancer". The absolute level of backwater juju ignorance on display. I refuse to take medical opinions from anyone that believes a fan running while you're sleeping will kill you. If you watched the entire video you wouldn't have to show your entire rear end for free like this.

Oh for gently caress's sake, you people. 7:14 in the video. You can literally see his expression change when whoever that person in the background opens their mouth and vomits their stupidity onto the world. That person's who I'm mad at, not the guy on screen, because it's the same uneducated bullshit I hear from my stupid dumb peasant relatives.

I think it might've been a little unclear because its a little unfair to the video to stop watching because of what the random customer in the back was interjecting because it's like 15s out of the total.

I assure you, my blood pressure disagreed. Goddamn loving peasants. The kind of stupidity that says, "you need to play basketball so you get taller", confusing that people who are tall are selected to play basketball, and not that basketball could be used as a means to an end. That was a favorite of my mother's, growing up, by the way. That's the level of stupidity I got flashbacks to. (and so that we can head off any further accusations against my character, when I say "peasants" here, I mean, quite literally, that I am descended from, and related to, rice farmers, duck herders, and fishers, but was born in the US and went to school in a well-qualified school district, for all the gently caress that means.)

You literally don't know who's saying that, whether they're serious or just giving him a hard time because of his rant about people saying that stuff would give you cancer earlier in the video, or whether they're a "peasant." If they're serious, based on what he's doing at that point in the video, they're most likely referring to the idea that repeatedly burning your esophagus can lead to esophageal cancer, which is something that multiple papers have suggested, although the evidence is not very strong, so implying that it's some sort of asian peasant superstition is just really weird.

On one hand my dad is kinda similar, he's always telling me the latest health risks from xyz as a result of some latest study hes read about how Japanese potato farmers live to 150 so I should switch to an all potato diet, so there's definitely a certain kind of person who consumes that sort of Woo nutrition science and repeats it as fact. I don't think this is specific to China, though I imagine China might have their own flavour of this sort of thing.

I might be moving from gas stove to induction. Any particularly good induction woks or do I just go out and buy the same cheap carbon steel one but flat bottom? Or do I just avoid the idea entirely and get an outdoor burner.

If you want to go for it those curved induction... they're not burners I guess. Thingies? They're designed for woks and are supposed to work surprisingly well since induction can get real hot real fast.

If I'm going to get a dedicated appliance its going to be an outdoor burner, I just am wondering what my options are for a regular induction stove. I would think a flat bottom carbon steel would work well enough.

I would think a flat bottom carbon steel would work well enough. I use a flat bottom carbon steel on my glass top electric stove and it works decently well. It’s not quite as good as gas, but it heats well and works on my induction burner too. It’s not ever going to be as hot as a jet flame, but it makes food fast. I just batch cook things by time needed and toss it all back in for saucing.

Jhet posted:I just batch cook things by time needed and toss it all back in for saucing. This is what I do on my gas burner indoors right now anyway, but I'm moving in a few months and am unexpectedly going with induction and while the majority of my pans will be fine the most commonly used thing that won't be is my wok. I was wanting a bigger one anyway, so I guess I have my excuse to bump it up getting the flat bottom.

I use a flat bottom cast iron wok on my regular electric stove and I am more limited by my tiny stove hood not handling the smoke than I am by the wok not getting hot enough. Can only turn the heat up to like 60-70% before it gets to be too much

Can only turn the heat up to like 60-70% before it gets to be too much I have the same issue when I use my cast iron skillets for burgers and the like. They heat up and stay hot so much better, but at least on my stand alone induction burner they hold heat so well that they trip the "it's too hot" emergency shut off safety feature. The carbon steel pans I have never do this, but my instinct is to use motion to help move the ingredients and my countertop induction burner hates when I lift the pan for even a second. I kind of want one of the counter top wok induction burners, but I'm afraid that will wait until I do any big kitchen remodels and replace the hood venting. It's outdoor gas burners for when I really want to go high heat.

 Peanut butter noodles on konjac pasta (following the "You Suck At Cooking Video") sans chili crisps because apparently mine expired back in 2022!!! I also followed the Chinese Cooking Demystified Video on Pork dumplings but I didn't like, package them in wrappers because of Keto but I kinda wanted peanut butter dumplings as well so here's my attempt at deconstructed peanut butter dumplings. Should've 250% more peanut butter sauce for the amount of pasta I made instead of merely 200% more. I had doubled all the measurements but seems like not enough.

Raenir Salazar posted:sans chili crisps because apparently mine expired back in 2022!!! Chinese products list the date of manufacture. They don't (generally) have expiration dates listed, which is fine since they're 99% bullshit. The only reason laoganma would expire is if the oil turns rancid. Which is still safe to eat it just tastes/smells bad.

reposting my trip report from elsewhere: im in a minority village in guizhou and i just had one of the best fish ive ever had in my life. the fish was fried, and then stewed in a sauce that is just incredible. it tasted like pickled peppers, tomatoes, garlic, and some spices that i couldnt place. but i asked them and they said there’s no tomatoes, and the peppers are local and fresh, but they use a ton of different spices and they wouldn’t tell me how they make it lol. it was spicy, sour, a little sweet, and had a nice spice background. almost perfect  it was called 侗家槽辣鱼

Any one with suggestions/recipes on how to make fried rice with brown rice? Recipes that work well with white rice just doesn't work well. I just came back from Taiwan and I had some really good fried rice made with brown rice so it's definitely possible.

Trying to decide if I get a wok ring that fits my stove, or if I just say gently caress it and get a standalone burner. A standalone burner means I can cook somewhere easier to clean instead of having to scrape oil off the stove, plus it’ll support round bottom woks by default. Any recs?

Fair enough. In that case, are flat bottoms fine for indoor use, or is a round bottom non-negotiable?

It will never get as hot as if you're using a jet gas burner regardless, but it has the benefit of being useful on the range you already have. They still get plenty hot and will have plenty of action when you use it. Watch the home cook videos on youtube and not just Chef Wang Gang and you'll see plenty of flat bottom woks.

Sir Sidney Poitier posted:The Leidenfrost effect I think. This happened to me once. I was heating up my pan after cooking to make sure it was nice and dry and I kept hearing a sizzling sound and was thinking "ok why is my pan sizzling it should be dry already". It was a little sprinkle coming in and making a little sizzle on the pan.
