We have a skillet that was my wife's grandmother's. Every couple years when we have a bonfire, we toss it in there to clean it off. We season by just heating/oiling/heating/oiling, etc., for a few hours on the stove.



I'm guessing a wok is similar? What are they made of?




Everyone (?) knows that a proper wok is made from carbon steel. A non-stick wok is a bad idea since you're likely to burn the teflon off in normal use. Here's a primer on wok seasoning to bring you up to speed.

Carbon steel and cast iron are seasoned and used the same way, heat the **** out of them throw some oil in, repeat.

Haha. We can't even get pizza delivered. They arbitrarily drew a line that leaves us out of their delivery area by about 200 yards. There's a bunch of big developments coming out here, though. It won't be long.




I can get delivery to my house and one of my next door neighbours is a swamp.

Shoppers Drug Mart used to have free delivery, order a pack of gum and get the guy to stop at Subway on the way.





Guess they used to get a lot of orders for needles to shady hotels

yea in hoboken they have a small convenience store that will deliver anything from the convenience store (think like CVS + 7-11, and thats what the store has) PLUS if you're in the "in" they'll deliver you other "stuff" as well.
