Handmade Solid Brass Thai Woks
We are pleased to offer this beautiful, rustic, large solid brass wok which has been entirely pounded and shaped by hand.
The solid brass wok is commonly used in Thai cooking for preparation of various desserts. Brass 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.
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. We've seen a fashion magazine showing small brass woks as party decorations for flower display, tablewear, etc.
The large is 10.25" in diameter, 3.5" tall (5.5" tall with handles), weighs 2 lbs and has a 12 cup capacity.
The small is 6.5" in diameter and 2.5" tall (4" tall with handles), weighs 12 oz and has 4 cup capacity.
