 Wok - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Woks of 36 cm (14 inches) (suitable for a family of 3 or 4) are the most common, but home woks can be found as small as 20 cm (8") and as large as 91 cm (36").
Stick handles are normally not found on cast iron woks since the wok is either too heavy for the handle (thick cast iron wok), or the metal is too thin to handle the tensile stress exerted by the handle.
Cast iron woks are superior to carbon steel woks in heat retention and eveness of heat distribution.

 Wok At Home
The wok (from the Cantonese pronunciation ''wok6'' of Chinese 镬, pinyin ''huò'') is a versatile cooking utensil used especially in East Asia and Southeast Asia.
Woks are found composed of a variety of materials, in a variety of sizes.
This wok sits on a metal ring designed for use with a gas stove, even though it is being used on an electric stove; with this arrangement the wok heats only slowly.

 Seeking the secrets of Chinese cooking in ‘The Breath of a Wok’ (phillyBurbs.com) | Fish and Seafood
For Young, who travels with her own wok, the notion of “wok hay” is what gives stir-fried food that certain something — a combination of heat, crispy-crackliness, intense flavor and texture that can dissipate within minutes, even seconds, of removal from the fire.
First the wok is heated over an open flame — always an open flame, for best results — until a single droplet of water, drizzled onto the metal, dissipates in a second or two.
The wok must be hot enough to feel like a radiator in winter when you wave your hand over it.

Straight out of the wok from the Quiet Lounge netlabel in China is the irrepressible Tao Spinner EP.
