It was still early, and he couldn't sleep. Besides, he had nothing better to do.
After a moment's thought, he took out the Chinese wok he had just acquired.
"An iron wok?"
He smiled knowingly when he saw what the wok was made of.
"This manager gets it. He really knows what chefs like."
Although he had trained in Western cuisine, he had been teaching himself Chinese cooking ever since quitting his restaurant job. The food he sold at his street stall was all Chinese, and he considered his skills to be quite decent for an amateur.
"Iron woks are different from stainless steel and non-stick pans. They require a special step right after you buy them, otherwise they're difficult to use and food will stick to them."
"Western chefs definitely used iron pans in the past, but they were such a hassle for this exact reason. That's why they were eventually upgraded to non-stick pans."
