Woks
Mastering the art of Asian cuisine is always easier with the right wok at your disposal. At Sur La Table, we offer a wide range of woks, from traditional designs to modern innovations that suit any cooking style. If you’re unfamiliar, a wok is a versatile cooking tool, perfect for stir-frying, steaming, and even deep-frying. Our selection includes the Sur La Table professional carbon steel wok, known for its excellent heat retention and quick response to temperature changes. This makes it ideal for searing meats and vegetables to crisp perfection. A wok pan with a lid can add versatility, allowing for steaming and trapping in flavors when needed.
When selecting a wok, first consider the material—carbon steel is favored by many chefs for its superior heat distribution and ability to develop a natural nonstick surface over time. Unlike nonstick alternatives, a carbon steel wok does require a bit more maintenance, but rewards you with unparalleled performance. Not sure if a wok is right for you? Think of it as an all-in-one cooking companion, offering more depth and space than a traditional frying pan, which can provide better results for stir-fry dishes. Whatever your culinary needs, Sur La Table's range of woks will empower you to explore new flavors with confidence.
