The wok originated in China and is used frequently in East and Southeast Asia. The word "wok" comes from the Cantonese Chinese word. The wok's shape has a rounded bottom and they range in size and diameter. Smaller woks are used for fast cooking at high heat such as stir frying. Large woks are mainly used by restaurants for cooking rice or soup.
A wok can be used in a variety of ways:
stir frying.
- steaming
- deep frying
- braising
- stewing
- making soup
The handles for woks are loops or stick style. The shape of a wok produces a small, hot area at the bottom which allows some of the food to be cooked with intense heat. The sloped sides make it easier to employ a tossing cooking technique. The curve provides a larger cooking surface that allows large pieces of food seared at the bottom of the wok to be pushed up the gently sloped sides to continue cooking at a slower rate.
