Wok???help please!?
can someone tell me about what different types of wok are available,what materials are used to make them and about the shape, base and handles.thanks.
Answers:
shop for a wok the same way you should shop for any other type of pan.
go for a wooden handle. the metal one you'll have to use a pot holder or towel to grasp onto.
make sure the welding of the handles to the wok are sturdy.
you want a heavy pan, it will hold the heat better and it won't bend out of shape or warp easily.
you can get non stick ones, but i find them pointless. the coating wears off sooner than you'd like. and woks are meant for high cooking temperatures, so you keep that food moving all the time and it won't stick.
ones with lids are lame, unless you're going to do some smoking or steaming. but i've never used the lid on my wok.
that's all i have for ya.
