Found this thread while looking for other stuff. I also bought that same wok - love it!!! My family likes it when I make:
- stir fry, obviously
- pasta primavera (you can whip up a beautiful rue in the bottom of a wok with the veggies pushed up the sides; I pre-cook the pasta and toss it in to heat up when camping)
- tamale pie (meat, beans & onions browned in the bottom, cover with polenta & cheese, then bake - that one's not camp-friendly)
- soup. Yes, soup. Brown your meat & onions, then add your liquids and simmer. Pumpkin soup is particularly delicious. Especially with roast beef sandwiches on garlic bread.
- mediterranean meal (smoked sausage, tortellini, squash, carrots, red peppers and onions all cooked by frying together in one pan)
- cowboy dinner (three kinds of beans, beef, seasonings, then sit it in the ashes and let it infuse flavors all day - this one needs a lid, I borrowed one from a pot)
I love the fact that it is well balanced and sits nicely on top of a coleman single burner. No, it's not too heavy. Looks like it's going to fall over, but it's not. Glad to see someone else with this monster. She's so popular, she occupies a permanent burner on my stove when not in the camping bin. I never even bothered finding a storage spot in the kitchen - she's never put away!
