I mean, what could be more logical? Take a cooking tool that’s fundamentally designed to have a large surface area for fast cooking and easy food flipping, then shrink it to unusably lilliputian proportions.
In all fairness, this $US90, 6-piece mini-wok set is adorable. But if you buy it, you officially throw too many cutesy parties (because even one is one too many). Instead, save the money, dig a hole in your living room and throw a proper pig roast. Or just buy a hot pot that all of your friends can share (whatever works best for your particular value set and architectural budget). [Pro Idee via Random Good Stuff]

For a moment I thought it’s a controller for new game “Kitchen Hero” ;)

… And Americans create new bastardised versions of yet another food culture by appropriating the superficial elements while completely ignoring the functional/important bits.

This is great! In Malaysia there is a Nyonya delicacy named “Apong”, it is a cross between crepe and cripsy thin wafers, for a lack of better description. The centre is allow pool into a small pool and allow to rise. I believe this would be great to cook this. I was looking everywhere for mini wok to cook this – this is just too cute.
