Cooking with a wok gives a few advantages because of its rounded shape: food is heated evenly and thereby decreases cooking time and only a small amount of oil is needed compared to a skillet. The result is healthier food, retaining vitamins and less fat.

The one-handled wok is ideal for stir-frying and this 13" size is a good all-purpose size suitable for Thai dishes like Pad Thai.

Perhaps the most important cooking tool in the Thai and Asian kitchen is the wok, because of its versatility. Woks distribute heat evenly and are excellent for stir frying, steaming and boiling. There are a variety of woks available on the market, including the carbon steel wok and the brass wok. The steel wok is the workhorse of the Asian kitchen and is used on an every day basis mainly for stir-frying.
