Thai wok from steel




The Wok is a mixture from pan and pot and originally from China.
It was invented at times as collecting fire wood was still hard work.
With its semicircular bottom the Wok fitted in the best way to the fire place
and offered so an efficient energy output.
Nowadays there are Woks in many variants.
The Thai Wok illustrated here is made from steel and is not stainless.
This form (semicircular soil) is used with gas burners and gas cookers.
Use: to roast, to fry, to steam(with cover and special inserts)
Cleaning and care : clean with water and detergent,
when persistent contamination with steel wool.
Important: after use rub with food oil (against rust)

How one roasts with a wok, the video shows.
A Thai cook prepares "fried rice with pork" (Khao pad moo):
