Me Time!

[coolbreeze]

I have been using my Neoflam 30cm wokpan close to a year now. When it was very new, I had no problem frying eggs in them; the eggs would just slide off the pan onto the plate easily. After some usage, the eggs started to stick onto the pan. The pan has no scratches as I always use sponge to wash. Much later, when I feedback to a promoter at Taka, she just smiled a little and couldn't offer any reason. I think I'm not the only customer to say so.

What to do? I bought a Tefal frypan just to fry eggs now.

This is my personal experience.

I think is due to the coating worn off (porous) by the chemical reaction from oil, the alternating of heat/cold cycle and the residue of detergent....

What I heard is, never flush in cold water immediately after frying, should allow the heat to subside to a closer temperature to our tap water before letting the pan come onto contact with water.... not sure if it's true though.

I agree that it may be due to the wearing off of some coating. I never wash my wok immd after cooking, always leave it on the stove table to cool down.

That is true. Rapid expansion and contraction cause micro cracks to surfaces.

A racy novel? :evil:

Hmm.. one that races on with plots and suspense or gore and horror maybe.

What works for me ah. Either I shut everything out, retreat into my own world, with a good book or movie or TV series, or I cook up a storm or potter around my garden, or get really physical, swim, run, or DH's fav :evil:

Usually retreating takes me longer to emerge. But if I cook or garden or get physical, I overcome the blues faster. Maybe cos there is a sense of achievement at the end of all the activity.

My therapy is to read manga and watch drama. I'm a 宅女

I can shop for clothes very quickly. Went popular last Wed to use that 20% voucher. Walk pass Wanko, got 10 minutes to spare before fetching kids so use that time to grab a blouse. That's why Thu can't go Isetan, feeling tired already, energy quota reached
