....OT/teflon/PFOA....AND..... stainless steel wok...

[Guest guest]

Good morning, Cath!

Isn't cast iron amazing? I love collecting it and the wok is the one

piece to be used the most!

I enjoy baking in cast iron too. Every thing comes out so perfect and

cornbread IMO isn't the same unless baked in cast iron.

Wok..I just donated a nice carbon steel wok because I could not keep

it seasoned right. I have read that stainless steel woks are not so

good to use.

If any one has used a SS wok, Please do share your experience with me.
