Is this oil good for high heat such as stir frying in wok?

Yes but with the beta Caroline in it it turns the food yellowish if your gonna cook with it like that I would recommend the white kind
633773
Yes it is, but you might want to use the kind that doesn't have beta carotene in it because the beta carotene will add a golden hue to whatever you cook. Try Snappy Popcorn 1 Gallon White Coconut Oil, it costs about the same and only contains coconut oil. Don't worry about storage, it doesn't need refrigeration and is all natural.

Yes, the BEW600XL Hot Wok™ can be used to stir-fry or even to brown up meat for use in other recipes.

Yes. Your food's flavor will retain its taste, unlike some other oils that leave behind yucky oil taste & decrease your food's natural taste. I mostly stir-fry with this oil and it's the best oil of choice. I like it a lot.

The organic, unrefined, coconut oil is fine for cooking, but if you are going to use it for scrambled eggs and other things you cook in a frying pan, it is important not to let it get overly hot. It should not get to the point it is smoking. It has a very low melting temperature, so it does not take much to get it ready to add the food you want to cook. I use it all the time for cooking eggs.

When I wok cook, I can braise, steam and stir fry with this wok. I prefer this wok because of it's light weight steel construction, Easy to handle and still keeps the heat.

You will get a little smoky aroma when it is new and you first use it. After that, not if you preheat and use a good Asian stir fry oil, a good peanut oil or olive oil. Do not put to much food in all at once. It will give you the aroma of good stir fry food!

I use peanut oil as it has a high smoke factor - the tiniest bit of oil is used with stir fry , so shouldn't be a problem

You need a really hot pan for stir frying, and butter and oil will burn at high temps, so use veg. oil carefully, or even better, peanut oil, which doesn't burn when you stir fry.

I own one for two years. Not that bad, as weight is concerned. I'm a female w/o strong wrist, I can handle with one hand. If I do a full wok of heavy stuff, I'll scoop some out first before lift the whole wok. It's iron, no coating, sustain heat much better. It's just healthier way of cooking. My hubby likes the dishes I made out of this wok better. I guess it's because I would be able to fully heat up the oil before stir fry. I don't worry about the coating damage and chemical release due to heating any more.

Yes! I highly recommend using this oil as it's one of the safest out there. This tung oil is used as a furniture treatment and a first time or after years of neglect or after sanding treatment. Not for a monthly or weekly treatment. Tung oil takes a long time to dry, and thats why it's so good for the wood.It needs to be used properly though. wipe it on, wipe it in, wipe it off, and let it dry! maybe 24 hrs or more, and wax afterward. It would be good for first time treatement. If you need a luster re-freash then I would use a lemon oil for furniture or something instead.Or just a wax product.all treatments will darken the wood. Teak doesn't need this type of treatment as it has it's own oil. Yes! I highly recommend using this oil as it's one of the safest out there.

I have always used mineral oil for food surfaces like cutting boards. Not tung oil. I use tung oil for furniture and for stocks.

Absolutely. A wok is primarily designed for pan frying. It's shape allows food to be moved from the hotter bottom pan surface up the sides where it is less hot, or to slide the more finished pieces out of the wok into a bowl. You can pan-fry meat as well but my preferred instrument in that situation is a cast iron skillet.

No, absolutely not. You need stupid heat for proper wok cooking. 60,000 btus is about the minimum for most Asian restaurants but you may get away with 30000-40000 if you aren't cooking for many. Either way 10000 btu is a long way short.

I believe that this oil will work very well in a deep fryer. I live in a tropical climate and I refrigerate all my oil so that it will last longer.

Sorry, I don't use the oil for cooking at high temperatures. It is a quality product and I would recommend going to Nutiva website for specs. They are a reputable company.
