Product Information

Although a lid isn’t necessary for a stir fry, if you’re planning on steaming, stewing or braising in your wok, then you may want to consider purchasing one with a lid. We recommend glass lids so you can keep an eye on your food without having to lift it and lose the heat. How we test woks verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Woks vary in size, with smaller ones typically about 24cm in diameter and larger family models up to 35cm. While you can still make a stir fry in a frying pan, a wok should be your pan of choice – ones made from carbon steel will also impart the traditional smoky stir-fry flavour known as "wok hei". What materials are woks made from? Woks tend to either have one long handle for easy tossing and turning, or two smaller c-shaped handles for easy manoeuvrability. However, there are some hybrid models that have a long handle on one side and a small grip handle on the other, such as the high-scoring M&S Chef Hard Anodised 30cm Wok we tested.
