This 8" aluminum san bai wok is brought to you by Excellante. this lightweight, durable aluminum wok is easy to handle and clean and comes complete with a lid. woks are primarily used for stir frying, but can also be used in many other ways, such as in steaming, deep frying, braising, stewing, or making soup. this bowl-shaped pan has several advantages - it spreads heat evenly, uses less oil for deep-frying than a traditional deep-fat fryer, and ensures that sauteed food tossed during cooking stays in the pan and does not end up on the stovetop. a good wok is indispensable when cooking traditional chinese food, and can put to great use in most commercial kitchens.
