This is a type of pan thing?

I thought a wok was something you threw at a wabbit. :stuck_out_tongue:

... But at 666p it's a beast of a deal :smile:

Great price., Wok and roll ...

"Carbon steel"....sooo....normal steel then?..

The Sainsburys Collection ceramic induction ones are on sale too. Looked a lot better quality than this particular one. Worth a look if you are after a Wok, reduced from £30 to £7.50, and has a white ceramic coating on the inside. This one Your text here

Steel is carbon....
"The carbon content of steel is between 0.002% and 2.1% by weight for plain iron-carbon alloys." - Wikipedia
Sounds like high carbon steel sucks reading up on it. Probably not stainless. Not sure why they would advertise that fact.

this is the devil's wok --- 666

From a (American) buying guide to woks: http://www.seriouseats.com/2010/06/equipment-how-to-buy-a-wok-which-wok-is-the-best.html


I use a heavy gauge carbon steel wok with a round (rather than flat) bottom and it works really well. OK, they aren't zero-maintenance as you have to season the surface and make sure it's completely dry when stored so that it won't rust, but they do work better.

good find op, heat added

you've got my heat

I think it is just to identify whether it's stainless steel or not.

Stainless steel is rubbish for a wok though, stuff will stick.

Carbon steel (normal steel!) is perfect, as long as you take the time to learn how to care for it.

They're ding a much better quality wok same size at asda for a fiver !
