Wok/Kadhai

A wok is a versatile and traditional East Asian cooking pan characterized by its wide, bowl-shaped design and high, sloping sides. Typically made of materials like carbon steel or cast iron, woks are renowned for their excellent heat retention and distribution. They are well-suited for stir-frying, deep-frying, boiling, steaming, and even braising. The unique shape allows for efficient tossing of ingredients, ensuring quick and even cooking. Woks are an essential tool in Asian cuisine and have gained popularity worldwide for their ability to create flavorful and well-cooked dishes with a minimal amount of oil.
