what Wok to buy - carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron?
hello,
I am trying to figure out what wok to get and came across a website that offers many woks out of different materials. what is the best, or considered original (traditional)? I have a couple of cast iron pots and pans - too heavy, so I am assuming it will take some time for a cast iron wok to heat up.
what about carbon steel and stainless steel?
Thanks
1. Do not buy stainless Steel wok. Stainless steel is a poor conductor of heat.
2. Cast iron is traditional. It is heavy and takes long to heat and cool. You can get used to heating cooling, but weight can be a problem. I would not buy cast iron.
3. You may not believe this but carbon steel is also traditional and most widely used wok. Normally, a good wok is pounded out of high carbon steel thick stock. The pounding leaves thick bottom and gradually thinner walls. It is a good conductor of heat, easy to heat and cool, and light weight to mange taking off the heat when needed.
I recommend buying high carbon steel wok
