When stir-frying food, consider using a wok instead of your standard skillet. With its bowl-shape and deep center you are able to get a larger amount of food in a wok than in a skillet. You can also toss meat and vegetables more vigorously, greatly reducing splatters and spills on your stovetop. The average size wok can be used to cook for one person or many people, whereas with a skillet, you have to select the right size. By stir-frying with a wok, food is cooked more evenly and is less likely to burn. A wok can also be used for steaming, braising, stewing or smoking food. Whether you’re frying fish or steaming vegetable dumplings, you’re sure to enjoy cooking with a wok!
