Don't wash your pans !

P.S. anyone know how to get the video to start at the right time?

Thanks Phil.

Perhaps I should explain my problem better though. The link I pasted to embed the video was exactly what youtube supplied to get the video to start at the time of 1.53, i.e. -https://youtu.be/sgzT7vcvVD8?t=113- (without the dashes). So that's what I pasted and yet the embedded video still starts at the beginning rather than at 1.53. If I paste that link to a web browser it does start at 1.53 but it doesn't seem to work when embedding the link for the video on this forum. So what did I do wrong?

But it wasn't.  Where you have "t=113", I have "t=1m52s".  Embedding is another matter, however.  If I try "Embed a youtube video url" with parameter

Code Select Expand

https://youtu.be/sgzT7vcvVD8?t=1m52s I get

.  Which patently starts at the beginning.  Something to do with the forum's firmware, no doubt.

So you're saying an embedded video will always start at the beginning on this forum?

Empirically, yes.  If you can adduce a counter-example, I will be more than happy to investigate.

That's disappointing. I wonder if Stu can tweak the forum software to accommodate videos not starting from the beginning all the time?

If you cook and use a proper Wok i.e. (Carbon Steel), mine are London Woks
and the patina has built up over use, just hot water and a light scrub
cleans it perfectly, dry it , lightly oil it up and back on the hob ready for another dish.
This is the correct way to maintain your Wok. I do the same for my Black Iron fry pan,
my Indian Karahis and even my Pressed steel original Brummy Balti pan.

This Youtuber does a good 101 on Wok maintenance

Some interesting opinions there, before we ventured into Indian curry's all my family loved a Chinese t/a at the weekend but there was one in particular that stood out from the rest and at home we tried all sorts of ingredients and cooking styles to try and match this special flavour (sound familiar  ) the only clue we had was that every dish had this moorish flavour, even the chips ! So we could only guess it was maybe the oil..

Reclaimed oil or seasoned will only enhance the flavour but still it won't give you the TA flavour....It cant be achieved at home contrary what people say but that's just my opinion. The same applies when we cook Chinese...Similar techniques are applied in Chinese TAs.. Hopefully this will give you the answer but unfortunately only the answer..
