The Winco WKCS-18 17-3/4" Stainless Steel Wok Cover has a handle for added convenience of placement and removal during use. The 17-3/4" diameter domed wok cover will help maintain hot temperatures with stir fry meals and also prohibits hot oil from splashing out of the wok during cooking for added safety. The wok cover is constructed of durable and rust-resistant stainless steel for a long service life and high volume use. It has a beautiful mirror-finished that is perfect for any aesthetic and decor. It also is easy to clean when needed. A wok is a deep, bowl-shaped cooking pan with a round bottom and sloping sides that's commonly used in Chinese cooking. The word "wok" comes from Cantonese and literally means "cooking pot". The wok's distinctive shape allows heat to concentrate in the center of the pan, while the sloping sides help retain that heat, which results in fast cooking times. This makes woks ideal for stir frying, as the bottom gets much hotter than the sides. You can also move food up the sides of the wok to keep it warm while you cook other ingredients. Because you only need a small amount of oil to cover the bottom of the pan for initial searing, woks can also help you use less oil overall. While woks are most commonly associated with Chinese cooking, they've been used in Asia for centuries and are becoming more popular in other parts of the world as well. Woks are believed to have originated from the South Asian karahi and date back to the Chinese Han dynasty. In Asian countries, woks are often passed down through generations and cherished like family heirlooms.
