Default Can you Stir-Fry

Is it possible to stir-fry on a WFO?

I would love to make some fried rice for family and friends.

Anyone got any ideas or reccomendations?

The key to a proper stir fry is very high heat in the wok - which is why it's so difficult to replicate restaurant results at home. I have difficulty seeing this work in a WFO, but perhaps someone has actual experience.

I have seen a long handled wok somewhere on the web...not sure where it was though...
Have to think about it!

I'm trying to envision getting a wok into my oven's opening and still be able to stir in it without burning my arms on the arches... not working.

The heat would be fine, just not the logistics, I think.

Ithink the answers to your two questions are:

1. No, it is not practical and probably wouldn't work if you tried.
2. Get the hottest portable burner you can find and use the wok in a more conventional manner... or try to get by with an electric wok (arrghhh, I can't believe I actually said that.)

I actually think it is meant for more of a saute' than a stir fry...you would be able to toss it like one can in a skillet but certainly not stir...not safely anyway...I agree with brian...get a good wok and a smokin' burner and go to town...there is still room in the world for gas cookers...have to think of how to make a wood wok burner next to the open grill next to the wfo....
