For cooking all types of dishes in brass do tinning (coating of tin) on it in India we all use tin voted brass utensils for making spicy curries and it's safe and beneficial for health. This method is used in India from thousands of years and also stated beneficial in Ayurveda.
I like the new shape of Woks with the flat bottoms that work well on electric and gas stoves!!! I have an older Wok with the round bottom that I can't use anymore with my electric range. Aloha
Another one of your SWEET video. You are very cute, pretty, funny, and very intelligent .Happy to watch this video after a hard day work. Thank you so much.
I do not have a gas burner or gas stove to heat /cook with my WOK. I only have a flat top electric stove top. Can I still make this fried rice recipe in my wok using the heat from my electric burner to heat my wok? Or is it recommended to buy a separate butane gas burner?
Hi! She tells me "Electric elements are probably the least optimal as compared to gas or induction, but it's still doable - you just can't get the wok as hot and it takes longer to heat up and cool down. But I used to cook on an electric stove with a wok when i was in San Francisco, so it can work :)" ... otherwise we use this kit.co/hotthaikitchen/kitchen-tools-i-use/iwatani-corporation Cheers! Adam
is it ok to store the gas cannisters in the garage? I'm in the Toronto area and sometimes it gets a little cold/hot? just not super keen on storing them inside if I don't have to.
Yeah I store them on the balcony myself - and in the new studio we store then outside. They get a little rusty on the bottom but it's not too bad :) I wouldn't store them inside though for sure. Cheers! Adam
I use a 14 and a 16 inch wok on a portable butane gas burner like Pailin's and both work well, however there are several burner heat ranges available. In the $80 US range, most of them are 10,000 to 15,0000 BTUs however for $25 you can buy the smaller 5,000 to 7,000 BTU burners that look almost exactly the same. I have owned both and personally don't like the lower heat burners for wok cooking as they tend to stew and steam the food you are trying to stir fry. Mine is 15,000 BTU and I have chowed on a charcoal starter chimney too (you better be ready for that heat, which is over 85,000 BTUs!). I strongly recommend a cast iron wok ring to stabilize the wok. This is the one I own and like best - www.amazon.com/dp/B07C21HWMM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_G4s9DbYNY1Z8N
Thanks for a video! :) Anyways what about using wok pans on an European stovetop? I have a gas stovetop however when I use my wok the fire is in contact just with the bottom of the pan - not with the sides. Is it sufficient? Wouldn't using a normal flat pan be a better choice?
Pailin, Recently purchased the 8” mortar and pestle demoed on your program. How/what do I need to do to the interior surface of the mortar and the surface of the pestle? I’ve added a small amount of water tot he bowl and rubbed the pestle around. That resulted in a grey gritty slury
I usually just wash it well to get rid of any stone dust and never had any grit problems. But if you’re finding grit after washing try this ...www.cooksillustrated.com/how_tos/6491-seasoning-a-mortar-and-pestle
I just bought a 14" Carbon Steel Wok, With a Round Bottom, For my Gas Stove Home.? I am going to Season it outside,? Because of the Smoke it makes while Seasoning it etc.?
I think you dnt need to wash granite one with soap . Just the hot water will do the job as soap will absorb to granite and will contain with food later.
Newbie here, just found your channel and l am loving it! all your videos went into my "watch later" as it's late at night here and l couldn't watch them all now, even if l really wanted to :) Thanks for showing me the correct way to care for the wok, as l was always wondering why mine didn't last long, now l know l cared for them poorly.. Thanks for all the videos, it will be really fun learning how to make Thai dishes :)
@@willnichart Don't believe the "exact same one" claim. Chinese knock-offs are well known for copying the look, but not the functionality, of the better brands. My mother had one that frequently leaked propane around the cassette. I was worried for her safety, so I bought her an Iwatani brand model from Japan. It works perfectly.
(sorry, my daughters u tube name) the house we've shifted to has a late model induction. We have a small two element hotplate sitting on top we use because the induction elements operate by EMF's, very bad health wise.
Is there a way you can clean the smell from the bottom of the wood pestle. Lol its not a trouble some smell but it sure does smell like chili, garlic and fish sauce.
I don't mean to be a killjoy, but $80 for a portable gas stove is quite pricy. That likely comes about from it being: Iwatani (a premium brand), made in Japan (higher labor cost) and imported (higher export cost). Here in Japan, portable gas stoves range from $15 to around $40. That said, it is a good model, featuring a well-designed burner with a high output of 3.5 kw/h.
I just found your channel and I am loving it :D After travelling long and wyde in south east asia I am starting a thai delivery in santiago of chile, my only question is about your videos do you do them all by yourself and what kind of lighting do you use? Finally if you grow up in thailand your english is amazingly good!
Hi! If you mean the steel one I think she actually got it online however it's not available any longer - re the brass one she got it in Thailand :) So we went looking for a substitute for the steel one and found this online ... kit.co/hotthaikitchen/kitchen-tools-i-use/2696621-mv-trading-14-inches (and added it to the Kit) ... but it's not the same of course. Sorry we can't be more helpful on your search! Though if you stick to the guidelines in the video you should be ok :) Cheers! Adam
That Wooden Pestol,/ You can sand it down to a Smooth finish,? & then use some Mineral oil on it it is food safe the oil.? It will keep the wood nice on the Pestol
Hi! She got it online and unfortunately it's not available any longer! She listed a substitute here kit.co/hotthaikitchen/kitchen-tools-i-use/2696621-mv-trading-14-inches, which seems ok but she hasn't used it. Cheers and sorry I can't help more! Adam
PailinsKitchen I have no problem using the Iwatani indoors (I just got mine via UPS today), but it bothers me a little that there is a big warning in the instructions that if used indoors it can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
hi Pai ! thanks for this video it really helps to understand the difference between woks! speaking of i was wondering if you would be interested in doing a video on how to use a wok !?? i noticed a lot of Thai dishes are made with a wok and i realized i am a serious newbie at using one.. so i ended up watching some chefs on youtube to get the feel of how they work with it , i mean i'm not expecting to be a wok master right away , haha .. but my thought was....what does one need to know about woks to make really good tasting stir fry's ? and that sort of thing.. maybe the basics of using one would really help people to know thai food better too ?!! thanks again xoxo Leah
oh she did? which ones ? i looked back in her videos and actually she is pretty thorough about how to stir fry in the recipes that use wok.. so its cool thanks
PailinsKitchen Many people do not realize that if not refrigerated, cooked rice can lead to food poisoning. Another great tool is a rice cooker. Even cheap one's are ok as long as when cooked, the bowl is removed from the cooker as they get very hot. Then fold the rice with a plastic spoon. Works every time.
@@CyberMachine Hi Victoria! Are you suggesting adding the link to the video? ... or somehow removing the "Show More"? (Which for some reason is in grey so very hard to find!) Cheers!
You probably got the 5,000 to 7,000 BTU burner, which looks the same from the outside. In the $80 USD range, the burner is usually 12,000 to 15,000 BTUs and better suited for wok use.

By far THE BEST personality on TH-cam. I love you! Go Pailin!
Love how you explain everything in details! It really helps some of us who are still rookie cooks. 🤗😘
to clean brass wok use a half cut lime wedge! its acidic and scrubby. I use these to clean my brass music cymbals as well.
I really like your frying wok there is no sticking on the sides thus scrubbing perfect for deep frying
Lot of these are used in India too. Almost all the stuffs you used here are there in my kitchen too😊
Thank you.
The brass wok is a real eyecatcher.
You don't have to cook with it, just have it in the kitchen lol.
I like the new shape of Woks with the flat bottoms that work well on electric and gas stoves!!! I have an older Wok with the round bottom that I can't use anymore with my electric range. Aloha
Induction burners worked well with my high carbon steel wok.
I love this! You definitely know how to maintain your things. Very informative
Thank you for sharing this. I had no idea I should be seasoning my wok each time I used it!

I read that Kosher Salt is good for cleaning out the Wok & it will not hurt the Seasoning etc.?
I love the brass wok the most ! Thank you ! You make amazing videos!
Thanks for doing this in the end Pai :) - as informative as ever, Great "essential" episode well explained throughout

ugh i want a wok so bad but the seasoning process before and after seems really intense (burning ect...) so much maintenance :(((
Is your wok 12"? or 14" Does 14" wok and skillet fits well on the butane stove? Thanks.

Hi Pailin, is your brass wok 12 or 6 inch? Thanks
And i am so distracted by your new toy which seems so useful and efficient, mortal and pestle is a size that we dream of in the u.k, Love your vid !!!
Hi madam nice kitchen item I really like it one question where did you purchase ? What is the price?
Thanks for the vid. Did I miss where you got/what brands of mortar and pestle sets you have?
Glad I found this video ... wondered what portable gas burner you used. The brass pot might be non stick because old brass has so much lead in it. :)
She has it listed on the web site so you can check it out there - Iwatani. Cheers! Adam
Which one works well the polish or the unpolished mortar
Could you use the portable gas burner, it appears to be a Iwatani 35FW, could you use a 8 quart pressure cooker on it?
Hello Pai,
Did you get the Iwatani burner on Amazon here in Canada or elsewhere. Can you suggest a vendor?
Gilbert
Is your gas wok burner safe for outdoor use? Thanks.
Can you a steel pot 2 cook tomyam. Thanks

Great Vid, Pai.......I have both mortar and pestle same as you but I use a Le Creuset wok. Do you have any experience with induction cooking?
(sorry, my daughters u tube name) the house we've shifted to has a late model induction. We have a small two element hotplate sitting on top we use because the induction elements operate by EMF's, very bad health wise.
