Thai Wok Set, Preseasoned Carbon Steel, Side-Handle, Flat Bottom
|
|
 |
|
Carbon steel is a natural "non-stick" material which makes this the ideal wok for cooking Thai food. It's preseasoned so you can start using it immediately, and the more the pan is used, the more durable it becomes. Carbon steel is superior for fast efficient heating and even heat distribution. It can withstand the high temperatures necessary for stir-fry cooking yet does not peel or crack. Most importantly, it's natural. The wok is easy to use and care for--just a small amount of oil added to the hot wok primes the easy-release surface. With use, any scratches will eventually darken and regain their seasoned properties--you will never have to throw away your wok because of accidental damage to the cooking surface. NEW: See our Thai street vendor videos and watch the carbon steel wok in action.
This is a flat-bottom wok which sits directly on the burner and allows for ease of use on American stove tops (and many cooks like the stationary flat-bottom). Very functional, it comes with two wood handles--a main handle and a wide side grip. The wok comes with a stainless steel spatula (shown above), a useful utensil but it's a bit flimsy, the short handle is for light work not professional use (see below for our long handle Wok Turner if you want the best). We also include an instruction booklet for cleaning and care. The wok is 14" in diameter, and the flat base is 7" in diameter. Made in Taiwan. We suggest using this with our bamboo steamer set. We also offer a solid brass wok. |

| Andy, Corning NY. About a year ago I purchased Importfood's wok and I love it!!! I use it just about every day. It seasoned quickly and deeply and is relatively stick proof. In addition, it's light weight, sturdy, has a large cooking area inside, a solid wooden handle, and great heat distribution. It also heats up very quickly. In short, it's just a pleasure to use!! The flat bottom is perfect for my gas burning stove and I don't need to worry about it tipping or food spilling out. A nice extra is that the Wok is really inexpensive when you compare it to others on the market. It's a steal for the price! What did I do with my old wok? I threw it away. The only bad news is that I no longer use my fancy and expensive pot and pan set that my wife and I got as a wedding gift! Thank you Importfood.com! I think I have entered Wok Heaven! |

| Bill, Riverside IL. I wanted to let you know how very happy I am with the wok I recently purchased from your online store. It is truly a quality crafted item. At first I was hesitant because your price was so inexpensive. But I must admit it is a high quality, very attractive and effective utensil. The booklet you included with this item was also very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you for offering such a competitively priced high quality product. I could not possibly be happier with my purchase. |

| Randy, Atlanta GA. Just had to join the testimonial throng here, realizing I've picked up quite a few things from you. My big wok, mortar and pestle, my Vietnamese coffee sets, my kanom krok pan, etc. Fastest shipping around, super-well packed, and great recipes! Just made the Thai fried bananas for the kids; they loved 'em, and I felt like I was back on the streets of Bangkok. |

| Chris, Coatesville PA. The flat-bottom wok is fantastic, the mortar and pestle is extremely good for grinding chiles as well as other spices and the sticky rice cooker reminds me of the desserts I had on my vacations in Thailand in both 2003 and 2004. The recipes are great and I really enjoy experimenting with them for a diverse taste. I cannot wait to experiment some more. Thanks again for being a respectable company and keep up the great work! |

| Bob, Stuart FL. I am addicted to your site!!! First, I ordered a fresh produce package with chiles, lemon grass, and lime leaves. Next, I ordered the carbon steel wok, and I have been using this for almost everything, including some excellent curries. I then ordered a selection of the knives, including the set of four sharp point knives, the fruit knife set, the mango peeler, and the large round point chef knife. I took one of the small knives on my last fishing trip, and they were so effective on cutting bait, that I just ordered 2 more sets for my friends! I try to hide the orders from my wife who thinks I'm nuts, but I think your site is awesome! As the Terminator once said "I'll be back!" |

| Bill, Avon CT. This Wok is awesome and well worth the money.....I can't wait to use it again |
|
| Marie, Bostom MA. I am loving my flat-bottomed wok! It is so much fun to work with - I have been using it non stop :) Great Site. One suggestion - It would make it a lot more user friendly if there was a "print view" for the Thai recipe page. If there is one, I am finding it hard to locate... Thanks! |

NEW: Thai Street Vendor Steel Wok, 14"
For years we've sold the sturdy, modern, carbon-steel flat-bottom wok made in Taiwan (above) that's perfect for American kitchens, but since we started our Thai Street Vendor Video Series many customers have asked us to offer a wok identical to the sidewalk chefs. Here it is: the same wok Thai street vendors use. You can see it in action here. The steel is 16 guage (1/16" thick), fairly light, which is just right for constant use because it get's hot easy and it's not too heavy to handle all day. It's a round-bottom wok, the beechwood hand sets at a nice upward angle. 14" across the top which is the most common size. For electric stovetops we also offer a wok stand to stabilize the round-botto wok. It works perfectly, 9" diameter. Higly recommended accessory: our long handle stainless wok turner below. Made in Thailand. |

NEW: Stainless Steel Wok Turner, Best Quality
Many have noticed that the real Thai chef such as shown in our street vendor videos, constantly uses a nice long wok turner. Now you can complement your wok with the very best wok turner. This indispensible tool is used for measuring, scooping, scraping, turning, serving and more. We've recently found "the best" wok turner. Made by Zebra of high-quality thick pure stainless steel, this really feels solid in your hand. It's such a high quality that you'll have it for generations. The entire length is 14", so your hand stays a safe distance from the wok. The bakelite handle is 5.5", the shovel is 4" wide and has a 3 tablespoon capacity. Instead of the shovel being spot-welded to the handle, it's all the same piece--guaranteeing that it will never fall apart of feel flimsy. It may seem a bit expensive for a kitchen tool, but given the workmanship and materials we are sure you will not be disappointed. Product of Thailand.
