Want to buy a wok

BargainJunky

My tefal non stick wok has bitten the dust thanks to hubby using something metal on it and the teflon is now peeling off.

I am looking to replace it with something that he cannot ruin so was thinking along the lines of a stainless steel wok - can anyone recommend one?

I seem to remember a thread about green pan ones at Home Bargains so may give this a try if I can find one in my local store.

Any other recommendations?

Depends where you live/visit.
If you are anywhere near a Chinese community go there.
Failing that :-

Then find out how to season your wok.

I wouldnt buy anything but a carbon steel wok, and certainly not teflon coated.

Thank you I'm in Birmingham I hadn't given the Chinese quarter a thought. Guess where I am going at the weekend!

Alton Towers ?

Seriously, if you go to Wing Yip they will have a good selection, maybe a little dearer.

My oldest wok I bought in Soho for about three quid in the eighties, its still good now.
