Solid Brass Wok

We are pleased to offer this beautiful, rustic, solid brass wok which has been entirely pounded and shaped by hand. We have two sizes available--small and large. Lately, style magazines have shown small brass woks from Thailand as popular among the Hollywood crowd as party decorations for flower display, tablewear, and whatever the fancy jetset these days might desire. This is a beautiful conversation piece, and we have seen less desirable brass woks made in France selling for well over $100. The handles are handshaped and attached to the wok using brass rivets.

The solid brass wok is commonly used in Thai cooking for preparation of various desserts (see two favorites below). Using a brass wok has certain advantages when cooking sweets. Brass heats evenly, so syrups and candies can be prepared without scorching. Without proper care, it will oxidize & discolor, so traditionally brass woks are rubbed with a bit of tamarind paste which cleans and shines the soft metal, yet won't scratch. Then rinsed with water. More modern cooks can use half a lime or lemon to clean their brass wok, then rinse it in soapy water. Avoid salt or other abrasives which can scratch the soft metal.
