Deep frying: This is usually accomplished with larger woks to reduce splashing, but for deep frying of less food or small food items, small woks are also used.
In Japan, the wok is called a chūkanabe ( 中華鍋, literally "Chinese pot"). In South India, the Chinese wok became a part of South Indian cooking, where it is called the cheena chatti (literally, "Chinese pot" in Malayalam and Tamil).

WOK RACE
The wok can be used in a large number of cooking methods. Before the introduction of Western cookware, it was often used for all cooking techniques including: [2] [15] Tope, Lily Rose & Mercado, Nordilica (2002). Philippines. Cultures of the World. Marshall Cavendish. p. 127. ISBN 9780761414759. If you love Chinese food, you must have tasted a dish or two that is cooked in a wok. Do you know that a wok can be used for cooking many dishes, not just for stir-fry? Learn more about what a wok is, how to use it and how to care for it with this guide.
To improve performance, the undersides of the woks are often heated with a blowlamp before the race. [ citation needed] Advertising controversy [ edit ] a b Symons, Michael (2003).

We designed the bamboo handles with a slight 'groove' or indent in the middle to allow for the perfect 'wok-toss'," explains Pang. Traditional [ edit ] A Han dynasty Chinese model with clay pots used to dry grains. The pots' similarity to modern woks has led to conjecture that modern woks evolved from basic features of pots like these. [7] On the plus side, you can use any utensils (including metal) on the patented surface (which is free of the chemical compound PFOA) without fear of damaging it. The cast stainless steel handles stay cool (and look swish). Plus, the whole thing is oven safe up to 260 degrees celcius (handy, if your guests are always late).Wok is a Cantonese word; the Mandarin is Guō. The wok appears to be a rather recent acquisition as Chinese kitchen furniture goes; it has been around for only two thousand years. The first woks are little pottery models on the pottery stove models in Han Dynasty tombs. Since the same sort of pan is universal in India and Southeast Asia, where it is known as a Kuali in several languages, I strongly suspect borrowing [of the word] (probably from India via Central Asia)--kuo must have evolved from some word close to Kuali.

Every month or so, if you have time, it is recommended to re-season your wok. Heat it up and then use a piece of kitchen paper to apply a thin layer of vegetable oil. Repeat three to four times and then wash and dry before putting it away, as suggested previously. How is a wok used in Chinese cooking? Cast iron woks are much heavier and so more difficult to 'wok' with, and so the modern day wok is often made of carbon steel (also a great conductor of heat, but much lighter in weight). a b E.N., Anderson (1988).

The best woks for 2023 are:
With this in mind, in my attempt to determine the very best, I reviewed a selection of woks, judging them for durability, weight, aesthetic, ease of use and maintenance, the feel of the handles when cooking, and depth of flavour (you really can tell the difference on this front). In recent years, some consumer indoor stoves using natural gas or propane have begun offering higher-BTU burners. A few manufacturers of such stoves, notably Kenmore Appliances and Viking Range Corp. now include a specially designed high-output bridge-type wok burner as part of their standard or optional equipment, though even high-heat models are limited to a maximum of around 27,000 BTU (7.9kW). [ citation needed] The curve also provides a larger usable cooking surface versus Western-style pots and pans, which typically have vertical edges. This allows large pieces of food seared at the bottom of the wok to be pushed up the gently sloped sides to continue cooking at a slower rate. While this occurs another ingredient for the same dish needing high heat is being cooked at the bottom. The pointed bottom also allows even small amounts of oil to pool. [2] As such, large food items can be shallow fried, while finely chopped garlic, chili peppers, scallions, and ginger can be essentially deep-fried in both cases with very small amounts of cooking oil.
