Wok: indispensable in Asian cuisine
A wok is essential when you’re into Asian cuisine. Generally, a wok is a bit larger than a regular frying pan.
A wok is also a bit more round which makes it easy to move products around in the pan. This is a must since you generally use the wok on a very high temperature. We have wok pans of all the famous brands. Would you like to buy a good wok? Then you have come to the right place, because we stock a lot of wok!
The best wok
A good wok spreads the heat evenly and helps you to products moving inside it. A non-stick coating often cannot take the high heat you need while using the wok. If you are using the wok properly, the product does not even get the chance to burn or stick to the bottom surface. A carbon steel wok, cast-iron or steel wok without non-stick coating works best. Why go out to wok when you can wok perfectly at home?
Wok or wadjan?
There is some confusion about the difference between a wok and a wadjan. Some people think the difference is purely in the handles. Others think the size is the deciding factor. The actual difference is the materials and the application. Originally from China, the wok is made of thin steel or aluminium. You use a wok pan on high heat to wok or stir-fry. To shake the wok pan properly, it is fitted with a handle.
A wadjan originates from Indonesia and is made of thicker steel or even cast iron. You use a wadjan for slower cooking. As you do not use it on a high flame, you do not need to be able to shake the contents. The wadjan is therefore fitted with two handles, also called 'ears'.
