Has there ever been a flame war in the cooking and baking forum?

[Puglover]

THAT I'd love to see.

:rofl:

[Stinky The Clown]

[eleny]

[Cassandra]

4. Gas vs. electric?

Oh, you said a FLAME war.

[NMDemDist2]

5. ROFL

but I am truly looking forward to my move. one of the benefits of NM is gas cooking again!!

:bounce: :woohoo:

no offense to electric chefs, but I really miss my gas stove

[troubleinwinter]

19. OMG!!!

I have had gas for a coupla months for the first time in 20 years. It is a GLORY! New house is dinky, too much yard & house fixin' to do.... but I HAVE GAS!! so who cares! Woo Woo!!!!

[NMDemDist2]

20. yup, 10 long years here in PHX with electric stoves

I'm ready!!

[troubleinwinter]

21. Dumbass me...

I left my wok behind when I moved. Now I will have to go read the Wok Wars thread.

Also, can we start a Bamboo Steamer war? Cuz I need to get a new one of those too.

[NMDemDist2]

22. I need one too

but I hung on to my cheap wok


course, I haven't actually MOVED yet :rofl:

[wryter2000]

24. I know what you mean

I suffered with electric for 18.5 years in a rental house. 8 years ago, we moved, and I bought the cheapest gas stove Circuit City had. I love it! I hope I never have to turn on another electric stove.

28. This may help

[NashVegas]

13. Gas v Charcoal

Haven't seen that come up.

[Shakespeare]

6. There was a bit of contention over meatloaf at one time....

But no, very few food fights down here. ;-)

[NMDemDist2]

7. ooooo

i remember the meatloaf wars

and a few words about Red Pasta sauce too......

[wryter2000]

8. Rachel Ray

I think there was a flame war on DU about Rachel Ray once, but I don't think it took place here.

[anitar1]

14. i remember a little flicker war about the size of

Giadas' head one time. This forum is civilized, you know. Never have seen a real flame war, just a few flickers.

[ernstbass]

9. I recall a spirited east coast vs west coast crab debate

[supernova]

10. *chicken*

It was hot enough to almost shut down the Lounge once.



:hide:


:rofl: No I haven't seen anybody get testy in here.

[Warpy]

11. Closest I saw was a contretemps over woks

with the more experienced Chinese cooks opting for the cheapest Chinatown specials out there and some of the wannabes going for the wooden handles and stainless steel (or, shudder, electric).

[Stinky The Clown]

12. What's wrong with an electric wok? How dare you!

Just kidding :)

I was part of that particular dust-up. But I also recall there was more laughing than hurt feelings.

Thankfully this corner of DU has always been a safe place whenever a storm brews.

[anitar1]

15. I call this forum athe safe place. soothes me after looking

at the flamers.

[eleny]

17. And it started from someone asking for a little bit of advice, too!

But it hardly rated on the richter scale. What we would call dustups would be a friendly exchange of ideas in GD!

[NMDemDist2]

18. ROFL

you got that right!!!

"a friendly exchange of ideas in GD"

:rofl:

[wryter2000]

23. LOL

I started that wok discussion by buying a wok with a wooden handle and plastic coating on another part. I think it was a pleasant disagreement.

BTW, the wok came with the wooden handle not yet attached. I haven't gotten around to seasoning and using it yet.

[eleny]

27. I'm so glad that it will work out!

Then you got a great deal with being able to season it in the oven!

Btw, I was thinking about you and that wok the other day. I used my very old wok to make dinner. It was so darned groady looking that after dinner I scrubbed it with a Brillo pad. Yup - suds it up good, rinsed it and quick put it on the stove over a flame to dry. It survived, has no rust and frys beautifully. Go figure!

[wryter2000]

25. The wok thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=236&topic_id=17741

On edit: no flames in there

[Stinky The Clown]

26. I think there was another one, too ......

that got into the merits of cast iron vs steel vs ......

[Puglover]

29. Well, it's a common know fact

that the ONLY definative wok is a carbon steel wok. Period.

:hide:

[Puglover]

30. In all honestly I DID see a flame war once about cooking.

However on "gardenweb.com" The argument was the virtue of a Bluestar cooktop versus a Wolf. Twas a scary thang.

[wryter2000]

31. We had one at work

We have an electronic BB at work, and one of the worst flame wars was about whether or not you have to put cheese in a quesadilla.
