Ärende: Hot Plates
==================
Hi Dave,

 RH> Yes, some have more "oomph" than others.  I suspect, since it's a 110
 RH> appliance, most hot plates aren't powerful enough to properly handle a
 RH> wok's requirements.

 DD> I have a reasonable hot-plate. But, I find that I use my electric
 DD> skillet more (much more) than the hot-plate. It's just so much more
 DD> versatile.

We gave up using an electric skillet years ago in favor of cast iron. I
know, there are a lot of things that the electric skillet can do that
cast iron can't but I've not had the urge to run out and buy a
replacement in close to 30 years.

 DD> you want to do. I have an electric wok which I got for Xmas season one
 DD> year. I've never even test fired it ... and it may go to Freecycle the
 DD> next time I rearragne my cabinets.   Bv)=

 RH> I'd have put it in Freecycle a while ago. (G) I've got 2 stove top
 RH> woks. One is the traditional wok; the other is a flat bottomed one I
 RH> bought to use with the smooth top stove we have here.  The other one is
 RH> sitting around, waiting until it can be used again.

 DD> Well, this one is at the back corner of an undercounter cabinet that
 DD> gets visited only semi-occasionally. Out of sight, out of mind as it
 DD> were.   Bv)=

 DD> Since I have an electric cook top I only have the flat bottom
 DD> wok-style skillet with really high sides. It works out well for me.


So get out of your chair and dig out that electric wok right now.  Then
come back to the computer and put an ad on Freecycle for it. (G)
