High Intensity Cooking Equipment
Joze cooking style brings the whole world home, so bring home some stylin'Joze gear: the fastest, most flexible, finest cooking accoutrements available.
Just late for Christmas, but not for Chinese New Year, a new less expensve importer for my main line of burners. Prices are falling! And. A cute new natural gas burner for retro-fitting home stoves.
$110 Cast Iron Wok Stove
Hundreds of millions of cooks can't be wrong.
Did you ever wonder how they manage to feed all those billions of people in the Far East?
Any wok is only as good as its heat source, no pan is an island,
No wonder so many people turned away from woks after a surge of interest in the early 70's.
The flash and sizzle when your ingredients first hit that hot pan
Turned into a piffle of boiling juices from too much food and too little heat.
This stove is not a toy. Fully cranked up, this stove will put out about 100,000 BTU's, (See note at bottom of page.)
About as much as all the burners and the oven/broiler of your home stove combined.
It has all the roar and fire of the kerosene burners you see in Asia without the mess and smell.
With this much heat at your command,
Many cooking techniques that are difficult to perform at home become quite easy.....anywhere.
And some procedures that just seem like too much trouble suddenly just aren't.
This stove comes with a fully adjustable regulator that connects just like a gas BBQ to refillable propane tanks.
Round or flat bottom woks fit securely and safely into the sturdy cast iron supports. This stove is actually strong enough to fire the 30 inch woks India Joze Restaurant regularly used.
Many other uses:
Cauldrons for huge soups, beer making or outdoor baths can be accomodated.Will fire a 20 gallon pot of water to boiling in about 10 minutes as opposed to almost an hour on a commercial range. Great for large scale camping events.
Instant charcoal starter: Just pile the burner high with charcoal and light. Fully useable coals in about 5 minutes.
Wood fired oven or tandoor oven a little sluggish? Stick this inside for a while.
I use UPS or the Post Office to ship these. For overseas customers, the Post Office Priority mail is much cheaper. To calculate shipping, go to the appropriate website and price a package 13 inches by 8 inches by 19 1/2 inches, gross weight 20 pounds, shipped from 95060 California. Typically, shipping to NY, Fl or the Midwest runs about $30, West Coast about $20. Overseas is much more trouble and expense: Europe (and Hawaii) is about $100 (and up.)
Good news for commercial users.
One regulator will fire two or three of these burners. We now sell the burners for $90/$130 without regulators. Using tee fittings, you can connect several stoves to one tank. Or just upgrade your medium burner.
note: the stoves require a high pressure regulator. our propane burners will not work on natural gas or low pressure propane.
$35 Adjustable Regulator
So many customers, especially overseas, have taken advantage of my discount on stoves without regulators, that I have an overstock of regulators. Picture is not the exact model I carry; mine has fittings on outlet and inlet. It is possible to modify these to accept propane canisters other than the US left hand thread standard. Delivers 0-30 psi.(0-2.2Kg/cm2). I think this is the cheapest price for these on the Internet. 1 pound shipping weight. Shipping is cheap; they fit into flatrate envelopes.
$170 Heavy Wok Stove Back in Stock! Price Drop! $150 without regulator
Hard time stocking this one, and the price just keeps climbing! Slightly larger, slightly hotter, slightly heavier. All our burners are cast iron, because steel and stainless steel do not stand up to that kind of heat. They downright wilt. Unfortunately, cast iron is brittle. It will crack if you drop it. Otherwise, it lasts indefinitely. This stove comes with a fully adjustable regulator, if you need one. Same regulator as the medium stoves.
Like all my stoves, this comes with a manual pilot light. The automatic ignition stoves I have seen tend to be lower heat output and the sparkers don't last. The presence of a stick lighter (even without fuel) is recommended when using our stoves as the castings get HOT!
Shipping is slightly higher on these. $20-35 Continental US.Currently $110 to Europe and Hawaii.
$120 Compact Wok Burner
This darling newest member of our line of wokstoves is light enough to bring camping or to friend's homes who want you to cook on electric ranges (make sure you have enough ventilation!) Eight inches across, it's solid enough to fire a fourteen inch wok (or pressure cooker, zabaglione pan or what have you) with easily twice the heat of a commercial range.This stove comes with a fully adjustable regulator.
Supply is very limited, I hope to be able to drop the price soon.
Natural Gas Jet Burners
$110 10 Jet aprox. 80K BTU $100 20 Jet aprox. 120K BTU 18 $70 Jet Duckburner
The flame is not as concentrated as the propane burners, which is either a feature or a bug depending upon your cooking style. Not a project for the faint of heart, these burners can be installed fairly easily in most commercial or semi-commercial ranges. Some instructions provided, along with unlimited phone support.
10 jet replaces the 8 jet I can no longer find. 10 jet difficult to get right now. I hope to find them cheaper but right now I'm glad to have them at all. It's six inches across, fitting nicely inside the wok stand/ring that comes with the medium propane burner. The picture shows it installed in a Viking commercial range.
Newest burner on the block, the DuckBurner, is a much better value. No pictures of installations yet.
This shows the burner beneath the wok support sold by Viking, which also fits pretty well on a Wolf stove
This burner is about twice as hot as the wok burners sold by Viking. And lots cheaper.
Installing it involves pulling the burner off the stove valve (there may be a screw holding it in place), then unscrewing the orifice/cap on the valve. An 1/8 inch galvanized coupling will screw onto the valve (somewhat loosely, but many turns of gas-rated teflon tape give an adequate seal; there's not much pressure in natural gas. From there, you run a pipe to a location somewhat shy of the center of the burner opening ( to allow for the 6 inch diameter of the jet burner.) A galvanized bushing connects the 1/8 inch pipe to the 3/8 inch inlet to the jet burner. For some stoves, you may want a somewhat shorter pipe and a couple elbows to get the jet burner to the optimum height. The 10 jet burner shown opens on the bottom; the very similar 8 jet burner has a side inlet.
Electronic ignition on newer stoves poses some not insuperable problems. Old style gas pilots work fine with jet burners.
If the above description hasn't scared you off and you have further questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
Jet Burner with Wok Stand
The photo is of a typical do-it-yourself installation of a ten jet burner (not currently available) in a Wolf Range. It should be clear why many customers are willing to give up two burners for one wok burner. This is a jet burner much, much hotter than the wok burners available for some prosumer ranges like Viking. About 80,000 Btu. You won't want to use this burner inside unless you have a commercial grade ventilation system. A rough and ready functional installation is easily performed in many stoves using the existing stove valve and plumbing parts available from your local hardware store. Joze recommends professional consultation.
This set up uses the cast iron stand and ring cannibalized from one of our heavy propane wok stoves. For maximum cooking flexibility, get the heavy propane stove and a duck burner. You can use the propane set up outside or camping, then swap the wok support for indoor cooking on the duck burner. Special deal: $200 for the heavy wok stove (which works right out of the box) and the duck burner (which will be good for hours of recreational plumbing.)
$16 14" Steel Wok (on Left)
Very inexpensive Chinese round bottomed wok. Minimum size we recommend. Thick enough not to warp. We season our woks by making popcorn in them, so we don't worry about scrubbing them out with stainless steel scrubbers. We recommend stainless steel lids for these as the aluminum lids look crummy pretty quickly.
$35 16" Steel Wok (on Right) $40 Stainless Steel (not shown)
Most versatile size. This one is from Taiwan, and has seen lots of hard use that give the distinctive dark seasoned shine. This wok is also available in Stainless Steel. Stainless steel has definite drawbacks as a wok material. It sticks and heats unevenly. But for boiling stuff you want perfectly clean, like tea water, and for deep-frying it can't be beat
$55 24" Spun Steel Wok $40 24" Stainless Steel Lid
Here's a wok and lid large enough to take full advantage of your burner. The carbon steel wok is easy to season and, as shown, will blacken with use. The lid cleans up much better than aluminum and has a high dome for use as a steamer lid. As sold, it comes without a handle, but one is easily attached. At India Joze, we attached a three foot pole with a hook on it, so the lid could be easily hung over head.
Half size baking pans fit entirely inside this setup for a range of cooking techniques, including rising doughs and wok smoking.
$10 Wok Shovel $10 Wok Ladle $19 Set of Both
The wok shovel or spatula exactly fits the curve of the wok for maximum control of your ingredients, whether it's precisely wokking small amounts of spices for Indian cuisine, browning cutlets for European cuisine, or the more "normal" Asian stir-frying. Round bottomed woks and these spatulas work together as no tool really can with a flat-bottomed wok. Northern style Chinese cooks work with a small wok and a ladle, tossing the wok as they stir. Southern style Chinese cooks (and India Joze cooks) use both tools at once, also using the ladle to add small splashes of liquid for fine control of wokking temperature.
Note: These are large. For small woks, you may need to grind down the edges of the spatula for it to fit the curve perfectly. I do also carry small wok spatulas ($4), stainless steel with plastic handle, that don't require modification for use with smaller woks. They are a little flimsy, so I am marking them down to move.
Price Drop!$20 Strainer, affectionately known as the "Tennis Racquet"
Cooking proceeds so quickly in woks, that it becomes critical to get food out all at once, before some of it overcooks. This strainer performs admirably because it fits the wok which has no corners, pulling pasta, lobsters, and vegetables out of boiling water or hot oil at one fell swoop. Doubles as a colander. Or spaetzle maker. Oops! Note: Picture does not match new model, which is all stainless steel and a little lighter than the one shown. New photo soon.
$3 Skimmer
Woks are great for deep-frying, because you use much less oil and because it is easy to keep the temperature high (be careful, though!), food absorbs less oil. Crumbs in the oil break it down fast. Hence, this skimmer. Good for de-scumming stocks, strainer tea, and much, much more.
$160 Wok Essentials (Value $164)
14" Wok, Medium Wok Burner, Wok Tools (Shovel ((specific large or small) and Ladle), Tennis Racquet, Skimmer, Stainless Steel Scrubber
We are still writing the book on how well all the pieces of this set work together for many different cuisines. Much is obvious, so instead of waiting until next year, when Intense Cooking: India Joze Wok World comes out, we're putting this set together now. You get lifetime technical support with each item, so if you have any difficulties at all figuring out how to use all this stuff to make your cooking more fun, faster, and more rewarding, let us know. US Shipping runs $35-40 for this set, depending upon your location.
$60 Dexter High Carbon Stainless Cleaver
This is the industry standard for high quality cutting.
Some of the cooks at Joze prefer Henkels, but India Joze himself keeps coming back to this one.
Simply the most versatile cutting/chopping tool there is.
I use it for everything from boning chicken to smashing peppercorns.
The broad surface is ideal for carrying bits of those intense flavorings from the cutting board to the wok.
$20 Chinese Knock-off of Dexter Cleaver
Back in stock. These won't set the world on fire, but they have good balance and take a good edge. Every cook who worked at Joze switched to a cleaver immediately. They take a little getting used to, you must keep them sharper than a French knife and the action is a little different (chopping rather than rocking, choking way up on the handle), but once you're used to one, there's no going back. May be slightly different than the picture, but equivalent quality.
$45 Stone Mortar and Pestle
Unplug your kitchen?
Sure, electricity is great stuff,
Listening to the whine and whir while you're trying to relax and enjoy food preparation with friends can be a drag..
This Thai import is great for slowly grinding superfine curry pastes, medicinal powders, or even coffee. Solid granodiorite, very smooth surface for easy clean up.
Buy your spices whole, they'll keep aromatic for years. Then just grind what you need. Caution: shipping can be a little high on these
Stainless Steel Rice Cooker
10 Cup $85 7 Cup $70
Automatic rice cookers are great. They free up your attention for cooking other things, are good for holding and re-heating rice. We don't like the traditional aluminum inserts, with or without Teflon, because they get gouged up and look like hell in short order. We like our equipment to improve with age, or, failing that, to at least maintain its dignity. The stainless steel pots in these will not get pitted and stained with time. These are not perfect, but they do expand the range of uses of the rice cooker.
$5 Serrated Peeler
Serrated peelers peel stuff you used to have to blanch to peel, like tomatoes and peaches. I got a good deal on these. Stainless blade.
