Yes | No 5 out of 5 Best Speaker For The Money Written By Gmastro, Orient,Oh on Tuesday, October 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After installing, which was a breeze, the sound is unbelievable! When you factor in the cost it is the best value for the dollar I have found to date. Pros: Ease of install and cost Cons: none found Was this review helpful?

No complaints Pros: sound Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Speaker Written By Josh M, Michigan on Tuesday, January 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great speaker to put in any vehicle to help the music sound crisp. The speakers are clear and do not crackle when turned up. Some people say they crack when they turn them up but obviously you shouldn't crank up brand new speakers. Pros: Good buy. Very Satisfied. Cons: No cons so far. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 out of 5 Not quite up to original equipment standard Written By CraigM, Perryville, MD on Monday, December 17, 2012 I was hoping these would be as good as the Toyota Avalon original equipment 4" component speaker and tweeter but I am very disappointed. The original speakers sounded so much better (until they fell apart from old age!). Now I have very thin sounding speakers that I am already looking to replace. These are a waste of money. I did notice the original speakers had magnets that were twice the size and the cones had twice the depth of the kicker. My advice --- look to pay more for a better product. Pros: Easy to mount. Cons: Terrible tinny sound. Base response is poor. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Kicker KS40 Written By BMW, Lugoff, SC on Monday, December 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) For the size and type, not a bad sound. I kept the stock reflex box of my '95 325is intact, these are in the package tray of the rear window. These stock boxes are ported, an opening of about 1/2 x 2, I shoved some cotton-based batting material inside of them except around the port wave zone and the low-end response is impressive. I am only pushing about 30 watts as I am using the stock Harmon-Kardon amp. Just don't push this speaker, it's not designed for it. Pros: For the cost, it's a good upgrade to the factory ones, although, after 17 years, the factory ones were worn out. Cons: The only caveat, (if you can call it that) is that to put these in the stock boxes, I had to snip off 2 of the 4 mounting tabs. But, with them being serrated, they are designed that way. They were also a tad bit smaller in circumference then factory, so I sealed the gap with silicon. As it turned out, doing that forces the free air out the port - making for lower-end! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 good speakers Written By me sir, Washington, UT on Thursday, October 18, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) For such a small speaker it does a good job providing a wide variety of sounds however it struggles slightly (as expected) when it comes to bass but in all I am satisfied with my purchase Pros: good for maintaining highs in a primarily bass system Cons: lots of treble moderate bass 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Kicker KS40 installed in 1994 Geo Metro Written By xtf16, Tampa, FL on Tuesday, October 09, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I ordered these speakers 5 days ago (counting the weekend) and they arrived. I could have purchased these speakers elsewhere for a little less, but I'm glad I ordered them from Crutchfield. Not only was the product instruction sheet included, but also a sheet that showed exactly how to install them in my 1994 Geo Metro. Also included for free was the wiring harness I would need to fit each speaker into my car. I just put this little old car back on the road with a new engine because it gets such great gas mileage...I thought I was going to have trouble finding speakers for it because the car is 18 years old.. but Crutchfield had the right speakers and the installation was a breeze... I am a female and anyone could get these speakers installed in a jiffy with the great info from Crutchfield. I received an email to acknowledge my order, another one when it shipped, and another to tell me that it was delivered! I also have earned points with my very first purchase by registering for free! Great service Crutchfield! A great experience doing business with you! 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Today's government CXOs are expected to play diverse and challenging roles. If you are a leader in government finance, operations or administration, you have increased pressure to do more with less.Two traditional roles that many states understand and perform are those of steward, preserving the assets of the organization by reducing risk and being compliant with laws and regulations, and operator, running a tight operation that is efficient and effective. However, it is increasingly important for government CXOs to be strategists, helping to shape overall strategy and direction for their enterprise, and catalysts, instilling an innovative approach and mind set throughout the state to help other parts of the organization perform better.
These varied roles make a government CXO's job more complex than ever. That's why government leaders turn to Deloitte. We blend a mix of private sector perspective and public sector experience to help government CXOs deliver results today and achieve more tomorrow.

Hey. I am looking to buy a new camera, I want it to be a good all round camera but later this year I am planning to travel to Lapland and I would like to photograph the northern lights. I tried earlier in the year, but in night situations or low light my pictures tend to come out mostly black and blurry :-( Pretty sure my camera is broken anyway, as it was cheap and is a few years old. I want a camera which doesn't do this.
I would also like the camera to have a good video function, be able to film in full HD and no sound loss when zooming!! Do you have any idea of what would be the best value camera I can get that would be capable of these things? I have looked on Curry's website and seen some around £200 that seem to be OK, but I don't really know what all the jargon means.
Please help :-) Thanks

First Aid & Emergencies
Fever Facts
A fever -- also known as a high fever or a high temperature -- is not by itself an illness. It's usually a symptom of an underlying condition, most often an infection.
Fever is usually associated with physical discomfort, and most people feel better when a fever is treated. But depending on your age, physical condition, and the underlying cause of your fever, you may or may not require medical treatment for the fever alone. Many experts believe that fever is a natural bodily defense against infection. There are also many non-infectious causes of fever.
Recommended Related to First Aid
Dehydration and Heat Illness in Children
Children are more prone to dehydration and heat illness than adults because they have more body surface area per pound of weight. Young athletes, practicing hard in summer heat, are at particular risk. Learn to recognize the early warning signs of heat stress. Your knowledge could save a child's life.
Read the Dehydration and Heat Illness in Children article > >
Fever is generally not considered dangerous, but hyperthermia can cause dangerous rises in body temperature. This can be due to an extreme temperature associated with heat injury such as heat stroke, side effects of certain medications or illicit drugs, and stroke. With hyperthermia, the body is no longer able to control body temperature.
In children with fever, accompanying symptoms such as lethargy, fussiness, poor appetite, sore throat, cough, ear pain, and diarrhea are important to relay to your doctor.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, if you have an infant younger than 4 months old with a rectal temperature of 100.4 F or above, you should immediately call your doctor or go to an emergency room because it could be a sign of a potentially life-threatening infection. Also call your doctor or go to the emergency room if any child has a fever above 104 F. High fever can cause seizures in young children.
Call your doctor right away if your child has a fever and:
- Looks very sick
- Is drowsy or very fussy
- Has a weakened immune system or other medical problems
- Has a seizure
- Has other symptoms such as rash, sore throat, headache, stiff neck, or earache
Call the doctor if the fever lasts more than 1 day in a child less than 2 years old or lasts more than 3 days in a child age 2 or older.
Causes of Fever
A part of the brain called the hypothalamus controls body temperature, which usually varies throughout the day from the normal temperature of 98.6 F.
In response to an infection, illness, or some other cause, the hypothalamus may reset the body to a higher temperature.
Although the most common causes of fever are common infections such as colds and gastroenteritis, other causes include:
- Infections of the ear, lung, skin, throat, bladder, or kidney
- Conditions that cause inflammation
- Side effects of drugs
- Cancer
- Vaccines
Other causes of fever include:
- Blood clots
- Autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease
- Hormone disorders such as hyperthyroidism
- Illegal drugs such as amphetamines and cocaine
Diagnosis of Fever
Although a fever is easy to measure, determining its cause can be hard. Besides a physical exam, your doctor will ask about symptoms and conditions, medications, and if you've recently traveled to areas with infections or have other infection risks. A malaria infection, for example, may be have a fever that typically recurs. Some areas of the U.S. are hotspots for infections such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
Sometimes, you may have a "fever of unknown origin." In such cases, the cause could be an unusual or not obvious condition such as a chronic infection, a connective tissue disorder, cancer, or another problem.

Televisions in Small Spaces
With a small space comes great responsibility...the responsibility of finding where to fit everything. Some decide to forgo owning a television completely, but even those living in the smallest spaces usually want a television for the occasional movie night, especially now that HDTV displays come in extremely flat form factors that allow installation in spaces where once no tube set dared to tread...
What better place to see how small space dwellers accommodate for sometimes big, sometimes small HDTV displays than from our recent Small Cool 2013 home contest?
Most often televisions appear where you expect them, wall mounted over a fireplace or sitting on a media shelf. But other times small space dwellers find creative ways to keep a TV where it's seemingly impossible considering space limitations, showing up in a kitchen, a tiny bedroom (above) or a home office (with computers increasingly assuming the dual role of television).
Here are a few of our favorite setups from this year's entries:

Good ideas here, but here's my recommendation -- get rid of the TV. I moved to a tiny 450 sq. foot home this year. Luckily, I had to sell my TV because there was no space. Now the living room seems so much more inviting, and I save on cable. I just watch my shows on my laptop wherever I want. Part of moving to a small space is learning to live simply, in my opinion.
I live simply by not having a computer in my 800 sq ft home. I do have a tv because every once in awhile I want to watch a movie or check the weather to make sure a tornado isn't about to hit. My flat screen doesn't seem to take up all that much space.
Cue the cranks suggesting you just skip the TV
TVs are the new SUVs! Like moke076 I have a TV for movies and for catching up on TV shows when they are available streaming or on DVD. It is really nice to be able to watch with someone else which isn't possible on a laptop. I have a computer as well because it is what I do for a living and I like to be able to schedule any extra time I work around the dog, the garden and eating a healthy meal at home rather than staying late at the office.
There is no one size fits all for living simply. It depends on your work, your hobbies, your family, your age and many other things.
Some of those ideas are really good. They TV is in a place where it is comfortable to watch it while still allowing for all the other functions. A few don't make any sense at all if you actually want to watch the TV. I have to say that flat panel design has surely made it simpler to integrate a TV into a small space because they can either be wall mounted or set on a narrow piece of furniture.
It's really irritating watching things on tiny screens all the time. I can tolerate it for convenience sake, but if I'm sitting at home it's just not as convenient to watch with someone. And forget watching anything as a group.
Any ideas for how to deal with a CRT tv in a small space?
(Other than, "Get a flatscreen, mount it to the wall")
My computer is unreliable, whereas our TVs are generally okay. Plus, I enjoy watching TV with others. We live very small but still have one in the living room and bedroom. I admire those who can do without and still manage to stay tuned-in.:)
I have one tv, no computer, and one projector hooked up to a dvd player. The tv is large, but was free and the whole family can watch it together. I am in front of a computer all day at work, so it is the last thing I want to go home to. The projector is in my son's room, so occasionally he can pop popcorn and have his own movie night. This is much better than having a tv in his bedroom and since it takes a few seconds to set up the screen he isn't watching it all the time.
I like the incorporate the television into part of a design theme but what do you do when your television is 73 inches? No way to hide a television that big! So, we just embrace that monster and treat it like it's part of the background (it practically takes up a whole wall).
Yup, it's in my living room too, so we can watch tv shows or movies when we would like to and it's a great baby-sitter for the pug who will watch cartoons or Liz Taylor movies when I need to clean.....
I still have one, too, just for dvds. It's on a 3-shelf vintage kitchen cart with the dvd player, with all the cords bundled & plugged into a surge protector. It's in the bedroom, since that's where I mostly watch it. When I want to have a movie night with friends, I just roll the whole thing into the living room, surge protector & all. I'd like to have a flat screen, but I couldn't beat the price on this one--it was free.
I don't own a TV, but that doesn't mean I don't love watching movies, or that I'm a snob about it! I connect my laptop to speakers and it's perfect for sharing a movie night with my husband. What I can't fathom is designing any room in my house around a black box.
I didn't have a TV for years, and watched on my computer (which to be fair has a decent, large LCD monitor), but now that I have a nice new 42" flat screen I'm really, really enjoying it. The most important thing in my personal experience is that it gets me out of the computer chair and onto the couch - otherwise I sit in that chair constantly. (Yes, I also get up and go outside, but my job is at a computer, many of my hobbies are at a computer... you get the idea).
Also...that TV mounted above the bed... I'm glad it works for the person who lives there, but I think I would put my foot/elbow through it in the night. :-/
For me, I need my TV. Big. No remorse or apologies. I've tried using my computer, but it just wasn't comfortable, especially on my laptop (my neck got sore and stiff). Some folks will do very well with a laptop or no TV at all. But I like my movies and movies are meant to be BIG. Granted, I stopped at a 47", but then I only sit about 7' away. Those who like TV and movies will generally get a larger set and live with it's big deep blackness when it's not on. Others are very happy with smaller sets.
One thing I do not like (cue disapproving rabbit from Cuteoverload) are sets that are over the fireplace or otherwise high up. One should not have to look up to watch, it's hard on the neck. The center of the set should be a tad below eye level for best neck posture. I like how No. 1 surrounded their set, tho' it's still too high (bottom could come down to the door knob. No. 5 is stylish, but I would need a neck massage after a sitcom or two.
One thing I wish I kept in mind when I bought my TV was to keep it to scale with the rest of my space. You won't hear me complaining when the light are out and a movie is on because that looks awesome on my huge TV. But the majority of the time I'm at home and it's not on, I just look at it and think, "Why did I do that?"
Sidenote: I know, I know.... "booo hoo hoo, my TV is too big."
We have a size restriction in the living room of our condo--a large and beautiful fireplace against one wall--but have found a nicely-sized TV and a small, tall media console (surprisingly hard to find, even at places like IKEA, because everything is all low and long for big rooms) to make it work since we don't wish to mount the TV over the mantle. I think we have a 32-inch and it suits us fine! We could probably go up to a 36 before it starts getting in the way of our small foyer, but that's about it. But yes, it can be done, and contrary to popular belief, some folks do still like and need TVs.
My partner and I live in a fairly small space. We ended up just purchasing a 55" inch tv for the living room earlier this year. It does somewhat, though not entirely, dominate the space. However, there were no other options - we love chilling out and watching movies on the weekends. What did help to visually reduce the tv size's impact was to set it atop a looooooong (8 feet), low tv cabinet with storage.
I own a tv.. I dont really get how people can not have one. For me, i like it! Im not a huge tv buff but its nice to have it on once in a while. Plus, i have many friends that are guys, and in my little place i host football games and the superbowl parties. cant do that without a tv.. they would kill me! :P
Mine's on a shelf in a closet, easily hidden and forgotten, yet easily watchable :)
Being able to now watch tv shows afterwards or stream them live on my computer, I don't find I need a tv and recently got rid of mine. Along with being able to watch DVD's on my laptop, it is the ultimate space saving solution!
I have some more spall space tips that can work well when you're decorating a studio or tiny apartment - http://emeraldandmay.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/six-tips-for-studio-spaces.html
Thanks for the post!
Yep - here's how to hide the big old clunker. Ours is a 27" - we have it in a base cabinet of a wall unit. If you use in-stock kitchen cabinets the base units are deep enough (24") for an old CRT television. Two layers of standard wall cabinets will fill the wall up to the ceiling.
I like the walls which either have the TV set into a wall unit or wall unit-look. I also like using the flat screen in a set of wall art!

Alpha units are interchangeable reaction modules available in a variety of formats to accommodate standard tubes and plates, and high-density microplates.
Every thermal cycler in the DNA Engine® family (the DNA Engine, DNA Engine Dyad®, Dyad Disciple™, and DNA Engine Tetrad® 2 cyclers) accepts all interchangeable Alpha unit reaction modules. Changing an Alpha unit reaction module takes less than 10 seconds, with no tools required. The temperature accuracy specifications of Alpha blocks ensure consistent results experiment-to-experiment and cycler-to-cycler.
Three-Step Installation of Alpha Units
Use the table below to select the best Alpha unit(s) for your needs.
* The amount of pressure is optimized by adjustment with a thumbwheel; the lid temperature is set with the thermal cycler software.
Optimize Reactions in a Single Experiment Molecular biology laboratories routinely need to optimize incubation temperatures for thermal cycling reactions. Optimization is critical but not always easy to do. Even after calculating the Tm (melting temperature) of a primer, the annealing temperature often needs to be determined empirically. This involves repeating a reaction at many different temperatures. Similar time-consuming tests may also be required to optimize the denaturation temperature.
The thermal gradient feature on the 96-well block of the DNA Engine multi-bay cyclers allows you to optimize assays in a single experiment by using a range of temperatures simultaneously. At any step in a protocol, a temperature gradient of up to 25°C may be programmed across the reaction block.
Predictable and Reproducible Gradient Temperatures The temperature gradients formed by Bio-Rad thermal cyclers take a nonlinear, yet highly reproducible shape that allows accurate prediction of the actual sample temperatures. Extensive validation of the gradient temperatures on multiple reaction blocks indicates that the nonlinear gradient is both predictable and reproducible.
Temperature values displayed for each of the 12 columns of the reaction module on a DNA Engine cycler. Traces plotting measured temperature from four cyclers have been superposed, showing the cycler-to-cycler consistency. Note that the size of each point is far smaller than the specified error (±0.4°C).
Precision (Dynamic) Ramping Ensures That the Time Spent at the Incubation Temperature Is the Same for Each Sample Precision (dynamic) temperature ramping means that the temperature gradient is formed during ramping. This ensures that each sample well reaches set temperatures (including gradient and uniform set temperatures) at the same time, and thus that the incubation period is consistent across all samples in the experiment. This is critical for objective evaluation of the temperature and assay conditions.
Dynamic ramping in gradient mode. Four thermal cyclers were programmed to develop a 45–65°C gradient across 12 columns. Thermal measurements were taken with NIST-traceable, laser-trimmed thermistors from 48 wells (four wells/column) in each cycler. Mean temperature of each column in each cycler (48 total traces) is plotted. Note that the software adjusts ramp rates so that all samples reach the incubation temperature at the same time.
Gradient Calculator
The gradient calculator for DNA Engine thermal cyclers tells you the incubation temperature of each column.
Programming a gradient step lets you determine the optimal temperature for a specific assay or test a range of annealing or denaturation temperatures in a single thermal cycler run.
This virtual gradient calculator uses the same algorithm that predicts well temperatures for a gradient step in DNA Engine thermal cyclers. Enter the lowest temperature (>30°C) and the highest temperature (<105°C) you want to use, and the calculator will indicate the incubation temperature that will be used for each column. The temperature accuracy (±0.4°C) ensures that at the end of a single optimization protocol you will know the optimal temperature for your experiment.
Bio-Rad thermal cyclers use dynamic ramping, which means all wells reach their target temperature at the same time, so all samples stay at target for the same duration. Therefore, both the incubation time and temperature can be easily transferred from your optimization experiment to your standard protocol.
Note: Gradient is available when the cycler is outfitted with a 96-well reaction module.
Virtual Gradient Calculator
High-Performance Technology for Unparalleled ResultsThe integrity of the DNA Engine family of thermal cyclers rests on the performance of Peltier heat pumps (thermoelectric modules, or TEs). Advanced hardware and software designs are used to reliably provide heating and cooling to every sample — regardless of position on the block, sample volume, or level of throughput. The practical result of these technologies is that PCR protocols can be quickly optimized, validated, and used with confidence in any DNA Engine family cycler.
Multizone Thermal ControlMultiple zones of thermal control across sample blocks enable the DNA Engine family of cyclers to deliver remarkable well-to-well temperature uniformity (±0.4°C). Precise Joule heaters adjust the temperature of perimeter wells — where thermal losses to radiative heat are the highest — independently of center wells. Sophisticated algorithms use readings from three sensors in a single-block Alpha unit to adjust four independently controlled thermal zones (left, right, inner, and outer), quickly bringing the sample block to uniformity even when samples are asymmetrically loaded.
Block vs. Calculated Temperature ControlThe DNA Engine family of thermal cyclers offers two modes of controlling sample temperatures. With the simplest method, block temperature control mode, the instrument monitors the temperature of the block and precisely heats and cools as directed. When the temperature within a sample is measured, however, an almost asymptotic lag can be detected as heat is transferred from block to vessel to sample (upper panel, opposite).
As an alternative, cyclers in the DNA Engine family also offer a calculated temperature control mode. With this option, an algorithm that incorporates the sample volume and vessel type is used to calculate the temperature overshoot required to bring the sample to the programmed temperature rapidly (lower panel, opposite). Incubation periods are timed according to how long the samples, not the block, reside at target temperature. By removing some guesswork, calculated control can reduce both optimization time and overall run time. Calculated control is recommended for most applications.
Block assembly diagram of an Alpha unit. Precise Joule heaters adjust perimeter wells where thermal losses to radiative heat are the highest. Multiple sensors and independently controlled TEs compensate for asymmetrically loaded samples.
Block vs. calculated temperature control. Temperatures were ramped from 60–90°C using a 96-well Alpha unit on a DNA Engine cycler with 0.2 ml tubes and a 25 µl sample volume. The block temperature overshoot with calculated temperature control mode (bottom panel) results in the sample reaching the target temperature (vertical dashed line) approximately 5 sec earlier than with block temperature control mode.

Serious positive life changes, with a semi-sad sound track. I'm not sure how that works, but it does. I've finally gotten somewhat settled into my new place with my roomie. Once I found a home for my records and Crosley, everything else just fell into place. There's still the issue of not having any food in our nearly vacant fridge, but who needs food when you have good music and good company? Which I have a plethora of these days.
Being in an extra-weird head space affords me the ability to adopt more causes than usual, many of which have presented themselves to me this week. I sat in on a lot of conferences with teachers, students, and churches about reading and the decreasing graduation rate in our county.
If you're reading this right now, you probably don't need me to encourage you to read. But I can encourage you to read to kids, and spread the word that reading to a child for 20 minutes everyday is instrumental to their mental development. Reading is the foundation for all other facets of education, and it starts when your young. My granny taught me how to read when I was four-years-old, and I don't ever recall NOT being able to read or write.
It seriously depresses me when I hear someone tell me how bad they hate reading. It destroys me inside to know that some people will never take the opportunity to read the words of William Faulkner or Oscar Wilde, or even Dr. Seuss. When I pick up a book, I absorb everything it is and everything it stands for, and short of being lobotomized, no one can take it from me. What depresses me more is not the fact that some people WON'T take the opportunity, but CAN'T take that opportunity, because they don't know how to read. Which is why I've volunteered teach an adult literacy class, because reading is the best gift anyone could ever get.
On to shout-outs.
A shout out goes to Jimmy Smith, because he's a true farm-type guy, and I appreciate and respect that.
A shout out also goes to Marion Paul Spurlock, for calming me down during certain freak situations where I've misplaced my granny and cannot find her. All the guys at dispatch also get shout outs, for putting up with me on a regular basis.
Gail Miller gets a shout out, because she is my nice new neighbor, along with Veronica and Ray Hagen, who I'm SUPER excited to live beside of. I see something in our future as neighbors. It starts with "block" and ends with "party".
Papaw Clinton and Mamaw Joann Johnson get shout outs, for allowing me to eat dinner with them at Starwood this weekend. They're very sweet people, and I loved every minute of it.
Kyle Bowling gets a shout out, for not getting mad at me when I dumped coca-cola all over him while he was sleeping, and then promptly falling back asleep.
Leann Hoskins Bowling gets a shout out too, for being very understanding, despite the fact I dumped coke all over her sleeping son.
A shout out goes to Nathanael Teague, because he's back, and better than ever! That is all.

How To Buy and Season a New Wok
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Do you own a wok? If you listen to Grace Young talk about stir-frying for long enough, you'll certainly start wanting one! The beauty of a carbon-steel wok is it heats quickly and evenly. When you stir-fry it sears meat and chicken perfectly, imparting wok fragrance. While the high sides of the wok are perfect for stir-frying meat and vegetables without crowding the pan or dumping ingredients over the side, a wok is also more than a stir-fry pan. You can pan-fry, braise, deep-fry, steam, boil, poach, and smoke with it. Carbon steel woks also become naturally nonstick the longer you use them, meaning less oil needed for cooking.
Ready to take the plunge? Here's how to pick a wok and season it for the first time. Also, Grace shows us how to give an adolescent wok a "facial" to keep it looking good as its true patina develops.
What To Look for In a Wok
• Round or Flat-Bottomed? Round-bottomed woks are traditional to Chinese cooking, but they don't work well on most of our Western stovetops. For both gas and electric ranges, a flat-bottomed wok is the most practical choice. This keeps the pan stable as you cook and brings the pan into direct contact with the heat source.
If you have a professional-style range with serious power like a Wolf or Viking, you can use an authentic round-bottomed wok and use a wok ring to stabilize the bottom. Most stoves won't get hot enough to reach up through the ring and create enough heat in the well of the wok. But you have a Wolf, Viking, or other semi-professional stove, it will be powerful enough to get the wok hot through the ring.
• What Size? A 14-inch wok is the best choice for most home cooks. A larger wok becomes unwieldy in a home kitchen and a smaller one doesn't always hold all the ingredients, causing us to crowd the pan and making it hard to cook food evenly.
• What Material? A carbon steel wok is the way to go. Like cast iron, carbon steel needs to be seasoned before using and then given special care to maintain its coating. This pan will become naturally nonstick over time and will last a lifetime. Avoid nonstick woks. Most if not all nonstick coatings are not supposed to be heated to a very high temperature, but all stir-fry cooking happens at a high temperature.
• What About Handles? Grace recommends woks with a long heat-resistant wood handle on one side and a small looped handle on opposite side. This arrangement is easiest for handling the work during stir-frying and then lifting the wok off the stove afterwards.
Buying a Wok
• So, Which Wok Should I Buy? Look for a flat-bottomed 14-inch carbon steel wok with one long handle and a smaller looped handle opposite.
• Where Should I Buy My Wok? You can find these woks very inexpensively at Asian grocery stores and restaurant supply shops. If you are in the San Francisco area, Grace recommends The Wok Shop, a great store in Chinatown with a very knowledgeable owner and a superb supply of all sorts of cooking equipment, as well as the largest selection of woks in America. (They ship woks anywhere via their online shop, too.)
• Find it: Side Handle Flat Bottom Carbon Steel Wok - 14-inches - $24.95 at The Wok Shop
Now to season your brand new wok! Grace shows us a natural, simple way to get your wok all ready for cooking.
The seasoning process below will get your wok ready to cook, but don't expect it to be as black and nonstick as her woks until at least a year of regular weekly use. But don't worry; even if the patina isn't that dark yet, your wok will still be easy to cook with and clean.
Grace emphasizes that this seasoning process is a time of bonding with your wok — this half hour of cleaning, stir-frying, and drying. She says it with a quirk of her an eyebrow, only joking a little bit. This is the process by which you learn your new pan, how heavy it is, how to hold it, how to clean it, how it responds to you. This seasoning process is bonding indeed!
How to Season a Carbon Steel Wok
What You Need
1 bunch scallions, chopped into 2-inch pieces
1/2 cup sliced unpeeled ginger
2 tablespoons grapeseed, canola, or peanut oil
1 unseasoned 14-inch carbon-steel wok
Stainless steel scrubber
Liquid dish soap
1. Wash the New Wok: Unseasoned woks are coated with a factory oil to protect the metal and keep it from rusting until it is sold. This needs to be scrubbed away before the wok can be seasoned. Thoroughly scrub the wok inside and out using a steel scrubbing pad and dish soap. Rinse with hot water.
2. Dry the Wok: Set the clean wok over low heat and let it dry for 1 to 2 minutes, until no water droplets are visible. (We'll cover wok cleaning in a separate post, but know that this is always the right way to dry a wok; it should be dried over low heat until no water remains. Otherwise it can and will rust.)
3. Prepare Your Wok Space: Open the windows and turn on the exhaust fan. Although the wok is clean, some chemicals from the oil will still remain; make sure your kitchen is thoroughly ventilated before seasoning. Set the bowls with scallions, ginger, and oil near the stove. Also, have a very small bowl of water next to the stove.
4. Heat the Wok Turn on a stove burner, as high as it will go. Set a 14-inch wok over this high heat burner. To determine when the wok is hot enough, start flicking droplets of water from the small bowl into the pan after 30 seconds. As soon as a bead of water evaporates within 1 to 2 seconds of contact, the wok is heated and ready for stir-frying. (In some new woks, the water may not evaporate immediately. It may just roll around like a mercury ball. This is common with new woks. After heating the wok for about a minute, add the oil.)
5. Pull Wok off the Heat and Add Oil: Pull the wok off the heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Pick up the pan and carefully swirl it to coat the bottom and sides. (If the wok smokes wildly the moment you add the oil you've overheated the wok. Remove the wok from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. When it's cool enough to handle carefully remove the oil with paper towels, wash the wok, and start again.)
6. Add the Aromatics to the Wok: Put the wok back on the heat. Add the scallions and ginger.
7. Reduce Heat and Stir-Fry: Reduce the heat to medium and stir-fry the aromatics for 15 to 20 minutes. Smear the aromatics up the sides of the wok all the way to the edge. If the mixture becomes too dry, add an additional tablespoon of oil as needed.
8. Watch for Color Change The color of the wok will gradually change from shiny new silver to mottled light yellow-brown. You may possibly see some blue, bright yellow, or even black colors; this is fine. (With some woks there will be no change. Every pan will react differently.) The wok will also start to look smoother.
9. Cool and Wash the Wok Remove the wok from heat and let it cool. Discard the aromatics. Wash the wok with hot water (no dish soap).
10. Dry the Wok: Set the wok over low heat and let it dry for 1 to 2 minutes, until no water droplets are visible. The wok is now seasoned and is ready to be used for cooking.
Wok Care After Seasoning:
• New Woks are Hungry for Fat: As Grace says, "A new wok is hungry for fat," meaning that it will soak up any fat you give it. This also helps develop the seasoning on the new wok. Cook anything that uses fat: stir-fries, deep-fat frying, cooking bacon, etc.
• Things to Avoid: Avoid steaming, boiling, or poaching in your new work. Also avoid cooking with any acid such as tomatoes, vinegar, and lemons. These things are fine once you've been using your wok for a while, but can damage the delicate seasoning on the newly-seasoned wok.
• The Teenage Wok: Woks go through an adolescent stage before they develop the deep patina and nonstick coating of a well-used wok. During this stage (and throughout the life of a wok), the seasoning can look splotchy, feel gummy, or develop rust spots (especially if you live somewhere humid or go a few weeks between uses). This is all fine. Just keep cooking and the patina will develop.
How To Give Your Teenage Wok a Facial
To give a wok a facial and clean up any yellowed, gummy, or rusted spots (this happens especially often with a new teenage wok): Fold three layers of paper towels into a pad. Heat the wok as described above. Off the heat, swirl in 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Scrub all over with the pad of paper towels until the gumminess and rust spots are gone.Repeat as needed. Throughout your wok's life, you can rejuvenate it with this wok facial.

Wok Cooking with Grace Young
5 Comments
I'm so interested in investing in a wok after reading this collection of posts (I always find myself attempting to stir fry and knocking half the contents of my pan onto my stove, haha) but I was wondering if anyone would recommend a smaller (12"?) wok for someone who is usually cooking for one, or sometimes for two? Or is 14" the way to go even if making smaller portions?
@Natch - Apologies if this comment shows up twice! I agree with Yoshua -- go for the 14" wok! I just cook for my husband and myself, and I'm finding the 14" to be perfect for small portions and versatile for when I want to cook larger portions or other dishes.
Vinegar is a good solvent for metal oil although, I'm not sure what ratio to water mixture would be best for a pan.
If you're concerned about your smoke detector going off, a disposable shower cap works well to temporarily disable it.
My husband and I received a carbon steel wok for our wedding, but before I could season it properly he used it to cook some tomatoes (doh!) and the acid clearly did some damage. Is there a way to rescue my wok and season it properly? It looks burnt on the bottom and somewhat rusted on the sides.
I just bought a new wok, I'm so excited!!!
While stir frying ginger, my wok became black and dark brownish yellow but mostly black. is that normal? I'm using the helen chen carbon steel wok.
