A wok pan is a versatile round-bottomed cooking pan, originating from China. It is used for stir frying, but can also be used for other cooking techniques including deep frying, searing, and boiling.

The best wok pans are made of carbon steel. It heats up quickly and evenly, resulting in well-cooked food.

While woks are versatile, they can't replace frying pans completely. The flat surface of a frying pan is more suitable for some cooking methods.

You can clean a wok using hot water and a non-metallic scrubber. Avoid using dish soap as it may remove the seasoned coating. Dry the wok thoroughly after cleaning.

If food sticks to your wok, it may not be well-seasoned, or the wok may not be hot enough before you add food.

While you can stir fry in a regular frying pan, a wok is specially designed for it. Its shape allows for quick and even heating and it keeps food contained when tossing.

Yes, woks can be used for deep frying. Their shape is ideal for controlling the temperature of the oil and they use less oil than a standard deep fryer.

Yes, both round-bottomed and flat-bottomed woks can be used on a gas stove. Gas stoves are ideal for woks as they can handle the high heat that woks need.

Yes, you can use a wok pan on an electric stove, but you'll need a flat-bottom wok. Round-bottom woks do not work effectively on flat stove tops.

Woks that are 14 inches in diameter are generally ideal for home use. They're big enough for cooking larger meals without being difficult to use.

Clean the wok, heat it on a stove until it starts smoking. Then, rub a thin layer of oil onto the surface using cloth or paper towel. Repeat this process several times to build up a non-stick coating.

This largely depends on what material your wok is made from. While some woks can be used in the oven, it's important to check the manufacturer's instructions first.

It depends on what you're cooking. Some types of cooking, like steaming and simmering, require a lid. But for stir frying, a lid is not necessary.

Non-stick woks can be a good choice for low-fat cooking and are easier to clean, but they require more care as the non-stick coating can get damaged with high heat and abrasive cleaners.

Store your wok in a dry place after it has been thoroughly cleaned and dried. To avoid rusting, some people also apply a light coating of oil before storing.
