Wok brush. Why do you need one? Helpful stir-fry tips.

Tak, that shirt is awesome I love it.

Thank you!

Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. I've been enjoying Chinese (uk take-out style) for about a year now, and really enjoy it. I usually follow chin and choo a lot for their recipes. Recently I got my first carbon steel wok, and your videos have been so helpful. I'll certainly consider getting a wok brush too to make cleaning easier for me. I think my biggest lesson from changing from non-stick to carbon steel, is temperature control. Non-stick wok was very thick - Take so long to get hot, that I always leave the flame on full power. Carbon steel wok is much thinner, and so must reduce the flame to prevent burning and sticking. I am already an avid follower of your spot seasoning technique, and it's really handy. I have subscribed to your channel.

Thanks for the advice, Tak.

[@Martiniization]

Very helpful. Your experience and knowledge are quite a nice gift for us.

[@carolrosas6785]

You are just so wonderful

I bought that brush style probably six months ago on Amazon and it amazingly cleans the wok quickly. I considered cutting the handle off but have held off doing that because my wok is a 14 inch. I highly recommend this style brush.

[@wokwithtak]

Do you think the handle too long? Just curios.

[@yt650]

Wok with Tak At first I thought it was too long, but then I decided I would wait and see how I like it. I’m undecided at this point. I bought one for my sons girlfriend to use on her 14 inch wok as well. Even if I cut the handle off and it’s a mistake it’s probably six dollars.

Excellent

[@zhuzhuhanbaobao]

it was so annoying cleaning woks so this is actually a very good suggestion! thank you for making this video

[@wokwithtak]

You're so welcome!

[@indrishmo]

Thanks so much for this knowledge! 🙏🏽 If I were to cook noodles for one, and then need to start again to cook more noodles, would I have to wash the wok like this in between? Or is there another method Thanks for your help.

[@rmmccarthy1240]

Thanks for the great tutorial. Now, here's my tip as per your request: I keep a cheesecloth in a jar for oil-seasoning my wok after cleaning.

Excellent content! Keep it up

Can you do a video on which order to put vegetables into a dish world into the walk some of them cook easier than the others and some of them you were to be crispy thank you

[@wokwithtak]

Hello, this video might contain some of the answer that you are looking for. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqXPi3udm96iapY. Please send me any further questions that you might have. Thank you!

[@shelleylee8774]

I was looking at this very type brush on Amazon as it looked like what I had seen you clean your wok with in your previous videos. I might give it a try. I also clean my wok as soon as I am finished cooking since it is so quick. Also, another great shirt!

[@wokwithtak]

Thank you! The wok brush helps a lot for me. How do you like your Cuisinart stainless steel wok?

[@shelleylee8774]

@@wokwithtak I love it! I particularly like the large bottom surface and how easy it is to clean! The cover is so great for steaming and it fits my carbon steel wok too! I haven't gone wrong with any of your suggestions! Oh, and I made homemade donuts in my Cuisinart wok this morning! It worked great and used less oil than my countertop deep frier. We like to splurge once in a while 😆.

[@RobertJohnson-lb3qz]

After you clean the wok, I’m guessing you heat it up on the stove for a minute or so to dry. Do you reapply some oil? Also, do you ever need to clean the brush?

[@cheshkat6321]

You should be an amazon affiliate so you can earn a bit of money when you recommend items amazon sells. Just a suggestion.

[@wokwithtak]

I will definitely consider it. Thank you for your suggestion!

[@kelzmh1883]

I think that’s a great idea too

[@islamaphobe]

Hi Tak. Is there a link for this brush or a brand name? I also wanted to ask you what brand of wok spatula do you use? I have a Lodge cast iron wok, and really need a good one that isnt too large. Thanks Tak for the videos!

[@MrLanternland]

Do u clean your wok brush? If so, how?

[@ScoopsVids]

Will this type of brush remove the season from the wok?

[@simonethetretelayer5885]

steel brush

[@Chris-ut6eq]

so make cleaning as easy as a wok in the park?

[@taywee9035]

Will the brush be too hard and remove the seasoning of wok created ?

[@thegoodraj]

Great video as always! I picked one up for £1.25 from Hoo Hing chinese supermarket in the UK. Works really well. They also sold split bamboo stalk wok brushes too - what are your views on them? They seem common.

[@wokwithtak]

Hello, Thank you for your questions. The split bamboo stalk wok brushes are designed for larger woks such as those found in commercial kitchens. The long handle provides a greater reach. They are a little cumbersome to use in a home kitchen sink. I like the wok brush better because of the dense bristles. Also i could apply more force on the surface of wok with the wok brush. Thank you!

[@thegoodraj]

@@wokwithtak that makes sense. Thanks for responding!

[@wjrasmussen666]

Do you have a specific link to this brush? The ones on amazon don't look like it.

[@wjrasmussen666]

I found a link to it and purchased 2

[@zhuzhuhanbaobao]

i’ve been using a sponge for years and it took forever to clean the wok

[@wokwithtak]

I usually have a scrub sponge available to clean the wok for anything that left from using the brush, but not too often.

[@raymondji1006]

Hi Tak, when you clean the wok in between dishes, do you let it cool down first?

[@wokwithtak]

I generally let it cool slightly before I clean the wok. My general rule of thumb is to let the wok cool enough so that water would not sizzle when it hits the wok. I always clean my wok with hot tap water to help to rinse off the oil. I find my palmyra wok brush works very well to scrub off the oil from the wok surface. Thank you for your question!

[@raymondji1006]

@@wokwithtak Got it, thanks for sharing! :)

[@set3777]

Unfortunately a WOK brush costs 10X-20X the cost of a usual Dish Brush which can clean any wok with no problems too. A dish brush even have a plastic scraper on the top which can be used if necessary.

[@uzumaki1235]

I hope that toilet brush beside the bamboo brush isn't used on the toilet 😂

[@indrishmo]

All those brushes cover the food-process start to finish! 😂

[@simonethetretelayer5885]

This brush has bristle too thin and the food tends to remain entrapped between them. Is better a bambù brush
