Seriously Asian: Searching for the Perfect Wok

I've watch ATK (america's test kitchen) and they've repeatedly said not to even bother with wok's because our output in ranges cannot do the cookware justice. I agree with Lorenzo, the burner's the issue and not the type of wok!

I use a good nonstick skillet and if I want authentic wok cookery I'll go to China town!

Grilling: Basic Barbecue Sauce

@shipwreck: I like your comment, I laugh at those people who shun ketchup (or whoever it's spelled) without ever really knowing why! People would be smart to try and make their own ketchup but to be honest I know it's not sacrilege to buy over the counter brands! Btw ketchup in Canada (a place I just vacationed in) is MUCH sweeter than the ketchup in the states, I actually bought a bottle before leaving, I like it so much!

Dinner Tonight: Grilled Caesar Salad

I love grilling romaine lettuce! I love to make a grilled salad with romaine, grilled carrots, grilled corn, grilled red onions and avocado (non grilled).

Serious Eats Fish Taco Crawl

Loco, I agree with you about Taco mesa, they make some of the best and really healthy mexican food around. It took me a little while to get used to the whole fish taco thing, I am a 9 year transplant from NY but now I love em to death!

I am very happy to see baja fish tacos on the list, they are awesome, I eat there once a week.

Win Your Thanksgiving Turkey!

My Dad used to break it when we were little but when we got older he would make my brother and I fight over it.

What brand of knives do you use?

I use a mixture of Henckels, wusthof and kyocera ceramics as of recently. If you want a different type of knife try ceramic and they even have a serrated knife now...

Marinating from a frozen state...does anybody do this?

Would the marinade get watered down when the meat eventually thaws? I'm sure it's not too terrible but maybe the flavor you're looking for will be less entense? Also depending on how frozen the meat was, I would think the marinade will not penetrate the meat until it's completely thawed out, which would extend the amount of time that you need to keep the meat marinated.

Thats my .2 cents
