This is one of the presents I received for Christmas - a super-duper Hood Range by Pacific. It is absolutely one of the must-haves if you cook Chinese as one very well knows, the smells can go all over the house. This one sucks up a wok lid and holds it there for as long as the machine is running! And to top it off, it self-cleans!! What more can a wife asks for?
Another gift for Christmas is this Le Creuset cast-iron wok. I LOVE the colour but the verdict is still out about how good it is versus a real Chinese wok. I have to let it heat up a while before I put my ingredients in to saute. It could explain why because it is so heavy. But, the truth is, you can't really have good "wok hei" on this stove.
