A wok's only limitations are the chef's creativity. The curved design has long sides and a small flat surface that provide an ideal shape for mixing meat or vegetables as you cook. The seven-ply steel is constructed to heat evenly and quickly, not just at the center but throughout the base and sides, greatly reducing the likelihood of burning. Meanwhile, the handles — both ergonomic and heat resistant — stay cool while you cook, allowing for easy maneuvering once you've finished the dish.
