This complete set of wok essentials from iconic Chinese chef-author Joyce Chen simplifies authentic stir-fries, sautés and steaming. The late Chen, who emigrated from China in 1949, is widely known for introducing authentic Chinese cuisine to the American culture during the late 1950s and 1960s. Through her cookware, cookbook, restaurants, classes, and television series, her expert teaching taught us the benefits of using real wok and using Chinese ingredients to make every dish flavorful and authentic. Foods glide over the patented Excalibur premium nonstick coating surface of this 14-inch wok, reducing the need for fats and oils and making clean up time easier. The carbon steel body is engineered for even heating and cooling, a must for wok cooking. The wok, with lid, stainless rivets, birch wood handle and a convenient helper handle, diffuses heat up the curved sides, expanding the cooking surface and aiding in tossing and stirring. This set includes a cookbook, steaming and tempura racks plus bamboo cooking chop sticks, tongs and spatula. Six pairs of bamboo chopsticks and a rice paddle complete the set.
