Steel Woks

Steel woks are an essential item if you want to spice up your life and cook exciting Chinese cuisine. They come in both the familiar round-bottomed form, suitable for use on a gas flame, and flat-bottomed varieties for electric or halogen stovetops. Traditional woks are made from carbon steel and require seasoning before use. Put a little oil in the wok and heat until the oil is smoking. Then remove from the heat, wipe it with a piece of kitchen towel and you are ready to create your first fabulous oriental stir-fry. Premium brands available include products by Calpholon Steel Pots.
