like, 30-70% of chinese cooking, depending on region, goes in a wok, it's the least unitasking tool in the chinese kitchen besides maybe the chopsticks

werent you talking about the wok burner? it's not essential for the wok but its nice

It’s not a unitasker you can also use it for crab boils or burning your deck down frying a turkey.

Hundreds of millions of people in China have special wok burners on their cooktops or they cook outside over a burning trash barrel.

You shan’t get any wok hei on a regular range. None. Zero. Not a hint. Not a smidgen. Might as well just boil your beef and broccoli.

I have one of these, bought it with much intention but its just so hard to care enough to bring it out...

Probably 10% of the people who buy a burner rig for wok hei are gonna use the thing. I myself have near infinite free time and money is no object, and I still can't bring myself to give a poo poo, I tried though.

BWBD doesn't like me for some reason, which is weird because we're like, the same dude, but he's probably the most dedicated home cook in this thread.

He did a stupid joke about sous vide and now a large percentage of the people in this thread legitimately think he's some kind of meme bad-cook now it's crazy... lol

I do think buying a dedicated wok setup is ridiculous unless you really loving know you'll use the poo poo out of it, which is like 0.1% of people, but he's right that it's dope. But the idea that this dude isn't pumping out great food is hilarious.

Just got home. I got the cookie.

Initial thoughts:

This cannot possibly be for just one person.

I totally can see where the calorie count comes from. There is lots of butter in this and you know it.

I can't see myself getting it again.

if you have a gas stove, and it’s not the kind where you can swap out one of the burners, a wokmon + a torch yields pretty good results

I get the same results as the Wokmon by removing the top part of the burner. I also have a $10 round-bottom ring that fits my stove. Only problem is it’s a little cramped vertically with the microwave/hood over the stove.

I don’t cook anything that needs it lately though. Maybe I will this week.

One of the last cans of the Kirkland sparkling water pack in the fridge only has a half fill or something. It’s sealed and clearly not full. Gonna take it to member services just for the hell of it.

The $50 memory foam dog bed has been well received, it pairs well with the family blanket he already has.

For my wok, in warm months, I just use my BBQ's side burner. It generates a lot of heat. In cold month, gently caress it using my electric stove. It's fine.

There’s nothing wrong with going nuts on a big specialty wok burner if that’s your thing but saying you NEED something like that to make edible Chinese food is like an audiophile telling a casual music listener that your Sony headphones are useless garbage and you won’t hear the music properly on anything less than Bang and Olufsens.

Does anyone know if Costco carries batteries that aren't specifically for cars? I need a 120ah Sealed Lead Acid battery for a sump pump. I know I can get one from INterstate Battery, but it's like $300 there, was hoping Costco might have something cheaper. Should I just call the tire center?

I've seen golf cart batteries there but I have no idea if those are sealed or just regular vented lead acid.

Are you looking for a regular battery or a deep-cycle? For an extended power outage, you're going to damage a regular battery by draining it dead - deep cycles are made for this purpose though.

I would still call and see if they have them, but I don't think they do.

You may also want to consider a LiFePO4 battery instead of Pb - these last 10+ years, don't burst into fiery inferno like Lithium Ions, are lighter weight, and are perfectly fine being deep cycled.

No he's right. Costco always has items for the season out well before that season starts. This week I saw two pallets of tennis balls out already. Maybe give it another month tho.
