This\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.williams-sonoma.com\/products\/cuisinart-preseasoned-wok\/?sku=3238053\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cuisinart Carbon Steel Wok<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>fits the bill.\r\n\r\nThis large pan\u2014big enough to fill with recipes for up to eight people\u2014is surprisingly lightweight. Shannon says this wok is easy to lift and maneuver over the burner \"but still feels very sturdy.\" Beware if you have small hands; Shannon explains that the handle is a bit large.\r\n\r\nThanks to the carbon steel material, this Cuisinart wok heats up quickly. With the ability to conduct and retain heat, this wok sears ingredients with ease in no time at all.\r\n\r\nBecause carbon steel isn't nonstick, it does require some extra oil to prevent your food from clinging to the pan. When properly oiled, though, Shannon explains that sticking isn't an issue here. After a splash of oil, Shannon was able to make picture-perfect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-fried-rice\/\">homemade fried rice<\/a> in a flash.\r\n\r\nWhile this pan does come pre-seasoned, it does require some maintenance. Carbon steel pans, much like cast-iron skillets, need regular upkeep. Make sure that your pan is seasoned regularly to maintain the right finish. When you're done cooking, simply wipe out the pan; avoid soap and water as much as possible. Over time, Shannon says, \"this pan develops a nice patina.\"\r\n\r\n<strong>Specs<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Carbon steel<\/li>\r\n \t<li>14-inch diameter<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Price: $45<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<!--nextpage-->\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"Best Non-Stick Wok\" product_name=\"Calphalon Signature Non-Stick Flat Bottom Wok with Lid\" pros=\"Easy to clean and care for\" pros1=\"Light enough to grip with one hand\" pros2=\"Includes lid\" cons=\"Bottom of the pan scuffs easily\" cons1=\"Higher price tag\" image=\"1773817\" image_credit=\"via merchant\" pr_name=\"Crate & Barrel\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/www.crateandbarrel.com\/calphalon-signature-non-stick-12-flat-bottom-wok-with-lid\/s563761\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Crate & Barrel\" \/]\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to high-heat cooking methods (like the sauteing we do with woks), nonstick pans aren't normally ideal\u2014unless the nonstick surface is hard-anodized aluminum like this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crateandbarrel.com\/calphalon-signature-non-stick-12-flat-bottom-wok-with-lid\/s563761\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Calphalon Signature Non-Stick Flat Bottom Wok<\/strong><\/a>.\r\n\r\nThis nonstick surface \"worked like a charm,\" according to Shannon. It's the perfect vessel for making dishes like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-fried-rice\/\">fried rice<\/a>. Eggs, which are prone to sticking, slide out of the pan with ease.\r\n\r\nBeyond its incredible nonstick capabilities, this hard-anodized wok also helps you achieve a good sear on proteins when making dishes like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/saucy-beef-with-broccoli\/\">beef and broccoli<\/a> or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/crispy-tofu-with-black-pepper-sauce\/\">crispy tofu stir-fry<\/a>. The pan heats quickly to achieve that golden brown color you're looking for when creating these dishes.\r\n\r\nOverall, you can't go wrong with this nonstick wok, according to Shannon. This wok is the right size for making recipes for four people\u2014ideal for most homes. It's also safe to use over high heat, a joy to use and incredibly easy to clean\u2014yep, it's dishwasher-safe!\r\n\r\n<strong>Specs<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Hard-anodized aluminum<\/li>\r\n \t<li>12-inch diameter<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Price: $110<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<!--nextpage-->\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"Best Professional-Grade Wok\" product_name=\"Made In Blue Carbon Steel Wok\" pros=\"Incredibly durable\" pros1=\"Provides a great sear\" pros2=\"Heats quickly and stays hot\" cons=\"On the heavier side (4.38 pounds to be precise)\" cons1=\"Grip isn't very comfortable\" image=\"1773818\" image_credit=\"via merchant\" pr_name=\"Made In\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/madeincookware.com\/products\/blue-carbon-steel-wok\/12-inch?\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Made In\" \/]\r\n\r\nIf a wok is an essential part of your cooking routine and a tool you reach for multiple times a week, our Test Kitchen suggests getting a professional-grade wok. This <a href=\"https:\/\/madeincookware.com\/products\/blue-carbon-steel-wok\/12-inch?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Made In Blue Carbon Steel Wok<\/strong><\/a> feels like something you'd find in a restaurant kitchen.\r\n\r\nMadeIn's wok heats up super fast so you don't have to wait long to start stirring up that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-pad-thai\/\">Pad Thai<\/a>. With this superconductive surface, proteins sear easily and beautifully. The pan also stays hot even as you add more and more ingredients. Maintaining a high temperature is key for wok cooking.\r\n\r\nCarbon steel, like cast iron, builds up a nonstick surface over time. Shannon noted that after making just one recipe, she found this nonstick layer building. \"This wok cleaned up easily and formed a beautiful blue, grey, black patina even after the first use,\" she explains.\r\n\r\nLike the Cuisinart option, this wok also requires some special care. Carbon steel needs to be seasoned. Once seasoned, this wok will build up a nonstick-like patina over time. Avoid soap and water when you can; wipe it clean with a dishcloth.\r\n\r\n<strong>Specs<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Carbon steel<\/li>\r\n \t<li>12-inch diameter<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Price: $99<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div class=\"listicle-card-image-wrapper\">\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1768442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/TKP_Retime_Square_2.gif?resize=700,700\" alt=\"Tkp Retime Square 2\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" \/>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>How We Tested Woks<\/h2>\r\nAt\u00a0<em>Taste Recipes<\/em>, we're lucky enough to have a library full of incredible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cuisines\/asian\/\">Asian recipes<\/a>.

Our Test Kitchen wants to find options that perform well and are designed to last\u2014no matter what they're made of.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Size:\u00a0<\/strong>You can find great woks in many sizes, however, our Test Kitchen did want to make note of the capacity of the pans they tried. No sense buying a wok fit for two when you have a family of six to feed!<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Ease of use:\u00a0<\/strong>When you use a wok, you're often lifting and shaking the pan. A good wok should have a comfortable grip and be easy to lift. When it's time to clean up, our Test Kitchen is always looking for fuss-free options.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Heat retention:\u00a0<\/strong>Stir-frying requires high heat. The best wok options should get hot and stay hot. This will help you get the right cook on dishes like this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/black-pepper-chicken-stir-fry\/\">Black Pepper Chicken Stir-Fry<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Price:\u00a0<\/strong>The performance of any product, woks included, should be reflected in the price.
