This complete set of wok essentials from iconic Chinese chef-author Joyce Chen simplifies authentic stir-frying, sauteing and steaming. Foods glide over the patented Excalibur premium nonstick coating surface of the 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 lidded wok with birchwood handles 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 chopsticks, tongs and spatula. Six pairs of bamboo chopsticks and a rice paddle complete the set.
The late Chen, who emigrated from China in 1949, is widely known for introducing authentic Chinese cuisine to American culture during the 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.
