Item Description

This vintage 27" wok is made from cast iron and includes a handmade wooden lid.

According to The History of the Wok: The wok is a versatile round-bottomed pan which originates in China. In the country of it’s origin, it is considered to be one of the most common cooking utensils, and is even used in East Asia and Southeast Asia. Since being invented around 2,000 years ago (although some will disagree, saying no more than 500 to 1,000 years ago), this versatile piece of cookware has become a very popular niche cooking tool throughout a large part of the industrialized world.

You can use a Wok for stir frying, steaming, pan frying, deep frying, poaching, boiling, braising, searing, stewing, making soup, smoking, and even roasting nuts. Actually, the word ‘wok’ literally translates to “cooking pot” in Cantonese.
