KITCHENCRAFT PURE ORIENTAL PLAIN STEEL WOK, 30CM IN SOUTH AFRICA

Even heat distribution, and a wide cooking area are just some of the excellent reasons to use a wok. This wok, made from traditional carbon steel, is big and solid enough to go on and on. Deep sloped sides made from carbon steel allow for a wide spread of food over the surface area, ensuring that food cooks quickly and evenly, while the flat base makes it suitable for use on most stovetops (glass, gas, and conventional). A strong, riveted handle with comfortable grip makes tossing and stirring the food simpler, while the handy hook in the end makes for neat storage. For induction hob use, it is advised against using a high heat power setting due to rapid rate of heat transfer when cooking.   Season your wok – This is a phrase you may have heard before because it is so important. It basically means ‘breaking it in’. Before you start using your new wok, wash it in warm soapy water (do not use an abrasive cleaner on the inside!) then place it on the cooker over a medium to high heat for a few minutes. When you see it smoking, add a couple of teaspoons of oil, and swirl it all around the wok (including the sides) to coat evenly. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Using a piece of kitchen paper wipe away the oil. This should be done at least twice before you begin cooking with it as this will ensure even heat distribution during stir frying, and helps to lock in flavours.
