what are woks made of
Some woks are sold individually while others are sold as sets with lids, rings, etc. The materials that woks are made of are spun sheet steel, hand hammered iron (low carbon steel), and stainless steel. There are also teflon coated electric woks. For the beginner it is recommended that to purchase a wok set with lid, ring, wok turner, ladle, and strainer.
Traditional Chinese woks are made of cast iron. Thick and heavy, the iron wok (éé tiÄguÅ) takes more time to heat up, but it conducts heat evenly and retains heat longer, which makes it perfect for stir-frying vegetables.
