What is a good wok, answer from ChatGPT

Posted on by

A good wok is a versatile, durable, and efficient piece of cookware that is essential in many Asian kitchens. It is traditionally used for stir-frying, deep-frying, searing, and even boiling and steaming. Here are some factors to consider when choosing a good wok:

  1. Material: Woks come in various materials such as carbon steel, cast iron, and stainless steel. Carbon steel is the most popular choice as it is lightweight, heats up quickly, and provides excellent heat distribution. Cast iron is also a good option, but it is heavier and takes longer to heat up. Stainless steel woks tend to be less effective for high-heat cooking as they don’t heat as evenly as carbon steel or cast iron.
  2. Size: Choose a wok size that suits your cooking needs and stove size. A standard wok size is 14 inches in diameter, which is suitable for most home kitchens. Smaller woks, around 10-12 inches, are also available for smaller kitchens or single servings.
  3. Shape: Woks come in two shapes: flat-bottomed and round-bottomed. Flat-bottomed woks are more stable on modern stovetops, while round-bottomed woks are traditional and may require a wok ring to be used on gas stoves. If you have an induction cooktop, you will need a flat-bottomed wok designed for induction cooking.
  4. Handle: Woks generally come with one long handle or two short handles. A long handle is useful for flipping and stirring, while two short handles provide better support when lifting the wok, especially if it’s heavy or full of food. Choose a handle style that feels comfortable and safe for you to use.
  5. Seasoning: Carbon steel and cast iron woks require seasoning before use to create a non-stick surface and protect the wok from rust. Some woks come pre-seasoned, while others require you to season them yourself. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for seasoning and care.

By considering these factors, you can choose a good wok that meets your needs and will serve you well for years to come.

We Got Two 1-star Reviews!

We Got Two 1-star reviews, and there will be more coming!

Screenshots Sent By the Buyer Before Submitting Them.

These two review screenshots were sent by the same buyer because we wouldn’t fully refund him, and we were told there would be more coming.
On Amazon, buyer’s review is very important for a seller, but we are not able to response directly, so we would like to clarify 2 points here.

  1. The buyer says that the wok is defective because it is not round.
    It is true that it is not round Anywhere of the wok. This is a wok made for stirfrying, not a hemisphere. Stirfrying in a wok means we should be able to toss food high out of the wok and fall back to the wok, meanwhile flame should spread effectly to the wok along its arc. We followed traditional shapes and did tons of experiments, got the current shape of this wok (Seriously lots of time, effort and sweats!).

From this photo, we can see it is not absolutely round.

It is handmade and the artisan only has a round lid with the same size of the wok, that means it only fits from the top. From the photos of the review, all 3 lids are smaller than the wok, so it would not fit.

The wok is for stirfrying, deep frying, FAST cooking with oil. We do not recommend it for steaming, boiling etc. Slow cooking methods that needs water and steaming, it is Not what it is made for.

  1. The buyer was not fully refunded.
    It is true. The order was placed on Nov 6th, 2022, return request was submitted on Jan 28th, 2023 and got automatically approved immediately. But the package was dropped off on March 4th, 2023. Therefore we only refunded the buyer 90% of his money according to the return policy.

Buyer says he and his relatives hold 6 Amazon accounts, if we do not fully refund him, we will receive a 1-star review every day until we are kicked out of the US market. So there probably will be more 1-star reviews for our products and us, it is sad :(.
