Are you in bitch mode again today? Yes, I read your problem...

Here's your quote from a few posts back:
-----------------------------------------------------------
I haven't figured out how to use a wok effectively on a gas stove. I
used the ring on electric and that was fine, but my wok seems to be
too far away from the heat if I put the ring on the grate and too
close if I take the grate off and put the ring directly on the stove.
-----------------------------------------------------------

You have a very hot burner (which is extremely wok-friendly) and you
just haven't figured out how to cook with a wok. Your argument is
lame. Learn to cook with a wok someday. It takes a little practice.

Leave the grate on..put the wok on the ring over the burner and let it
get super hot. Once it is hot enough to cook (and it will get hot) do
your stir fry in small batches.

You claimed to have one super-hot burner that was too hot even turned
on low for regular cooking and you now claim that it won't work for a
wok? Have you turned into Julie? I'm convinced now that you have NEVER
cooked with a wok.

Sorry 'bout this one but you deserved it.

G.

BTW - Cooking in a wok on a ring over an electric burner is a hard way
to go to start with. Only a newbie would miss an electric burner for
this cooking.

Naturally now, this post will put me in *your* killfile too. The
"head-in-sand syndrome" that's seems to be prevalent here, especially
lately. ;-)
