I use chopped up chicken breasts or pork for my stir fry, rarely beef.
Do you use a full-on wok setup? If not do you see much difference between wok results and a stovetop/pot setup? [Reply]

Things like veggies stay crispier and meat gets done on the outside and super moist on the inside.
Unless you put too much in the wok at once, it is very quick and does a great job. Little chance of boiling the veggies like a pot or pan on the stove.
I let the wok get as hot as possible. It does make a mess in the house and stove. [Reply]
My wife cooks everything it seems on a wok. She has a smaller 15" heavy steel and a gigantic 24 or more aluminum and I hate that thing. They take up so much space and I have discussed the possible dangers of uncoated aluminum. She cooks her pansit in the big one enough to feed a small army then takes to work for her co workers.
