The wok is a shape honed over centuries to handle most everything a cook needs to do in the kitchen. We added modern tweaks to help it do the rest – it’s got a stay-cool handle, fitted glass lid, and is preseasoned, so it’s ready to roll right out of the box. Searing, sauteing, and steaming. Poaching and boiling. Deep frying. So yes, it’s great for Asian dishes, but also any fried chicken recipe, poached lobster, seared broccoli, even popcorn!
