And I'm one of those strange people who've like bitter melon since a young age too.<br /><br /><b>Hey Angie,</b> I definitely find that rounded edges help with tossing various things around in the pan. Haha, and definite crossover with bitter melon being popular in various Asian cuisines.<br /><br /><b>Hey JehanP,</b> some people absolutely hate bitter melon when they're younger but grow to enjoy it later! Try it with some soy or stir-fried with blackbean sauce or chilli (anything strong really) to help mask some of the bitterness.<br /><br /><b>Hey Star,</b> you get comfortable with using a good wok and it's so sad when you then have to go looking for a replacement!<br /><br /><b>Hey Phuoc,</b> I've always quite liked bittermelon, especially when it's been left overnight to absorb the flavours of what it's been cooked with.<br /><br /><b>Hey Conor,</b> haha, that is a seriously practical gift to receive! "Here, have a bottle of gas and a wok burner!" Those individual burners also work a treat for steamboats/hotpots.<br /><br /><b>Hey Tina,</b> don't worry, my mother didn't grow to even remotely like bitter melon until she was almost 50!<br /><br /><b>Hey Gastronomy Gal,</b> do you mean those electric plug-in ones? They're just not the same!<br /><br /><b>Hey Adrian,</b> yes, replace stat! Surely it can't be healthy if your wok is sprouting rust...?<br /><br /><b>Hey Agnes,</b> eheh, I seriously wouldn't know how to steam stuff if I didn't have a lid left over from a long-retired wok =p<br /><br /><b>Hey muppy,</b> I find woks quite useful for "catching" things that otherwise would've ended up all over my stovetop of the floor =p<br /><br /><b>Hey Vicky,</b> ahaha, "My wok is better than your wok"?<br /><br /><b>Hey Kitchen Butterfly,</b> it's always a struggle to find that absolutely perfect kitchen appliance/utensil, isn't it?<br /><br /><b>Hey sugarpuffi,</b> thanks!<br /><br /><b>Hey Sara,</b> mum's only ever had electric stoves whilst living in Sydney and it's just not the same!<br /><br /><b>Hey shez,</b> thanks! Haha, it's not a "complete" wok unless it comes with a lid =pRita (mademoiselle délicieuse)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12353807765589132835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848781013603271056.post-16152322624018591342011-04-08T09:11:34.820+10:002011-04-08T09:11:34.820+10:00Gorgeous bittermelon pictures R :) We bought my mu...Gorgeous bittermelon pictures R :) We bought my mum a new, lighter wok for her birthday a few years back and she immediately started looking for the lid... which we had neglected to buy!
