16 inch Traditional Cast Iron Wok (incl. ring) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hi. I read the previous review and just wanted to put in a correction and a FYI so people don't think these cast iron cooking utensils are defective. I cook alot with cast iron and have bought new cast iron cookware from the US and China. When a cast iron cooking vessel is brand new and hasn't been "seasoned" by the manufacturer (like Lodge does for some of their skillets and such), it is covered with a thin film of machine oil to prevent rust and corrosion in transit. This is what needs to be washed off before use. Non-seasoned cast iron is a very gray color- indeed, almost looking painted gray if you're expecting it to look black. It will not develop the black patina until you start cooking with it. It is essentially baked on oil that turns the iron black. The best way is to season your new pan is to coat the whole (dry) pan inside and out with vegetable oil and put it in the oven to bake. A very thorough explanation of the seasoning process is given at the Lodge Manufacturing website: www.lodgemfg.com When you're done cooking with your cast iron, scrub it out with hot water only, and then put it on the stove-top to dry. Re-apply a bit of oil as needed. Iron rusts without this protection to moisture from washing or in the air. Cast iron does take a bit of maintenance, but is a superior and very safe cooking surface. Enjoy.

A very traditional design that has been used in the Chinese countryside for centuries. Now it is available in the U.S. through the Wok Shop. Round bottom only and 41/2 inches in depth. Small metal handles. Retains heat, cooks evenly, quickly and efficiently and imparts the Chinese "wok hee" (wok flavor). Must be seasoned

Duke Company Pecan Nut Cracker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the last nut cracker you will ever need. It's even endorsed by her highness, Martha Stewart.
We annually recieve a big bag of black walnuts from friends who have a tree in their yard. They are very good eating, much better than store bought walnuts. However, shelling them is often more trouble than it's worth, as black walnuts are among the toughest nuts to crack.
Then we heard about this inexpensive device, so we picked one up, and it works very well. You'll be amazed, it will leave the whole meat intact a high percentage of the time. It adjusts to fit a wide range of nut sizes, and it allows for a great deal of leverage to be applied to the nut being cracked without being unwieldy.
The only downside I can see is that is will sometimes send shell fragments flying at high speeds and for long distances. I'd recommend either doing your shelling outside, or using it in the nice box it comes in which will contain most of the projectile shell fragments. You might even consider safety glasses. (EDIT: We ordered another one of these for said friends with said tree, and theirs did not come in the same type box. You might have to cut open a long side flap to use it like I suggested.)
Overall, if you're in the market for a nutcracker, you can't go wrong with this one.
