You can then focus on the sizzle and the sear without the scramble - keeping the process smooth and your mind as calm as a professional chef.

Select your stir-fry champion: IKEA wok or wok pan?

Cooking with a wok is a dynamic process that capitalises on its distinctive shape. The sloping edges guide food back to the centre, which is the hottest part of the wok, making it ideal for the stirring and tossing technique known as sautéing. As you move the food through the wok's central hot zone, it sears quickly, receiving ample heat from all sides. Sauces and seasonings added to the mix cling to the cooler edges, blending harmoniously with the other ingredients for a result that's as delightful to the palate as it is to the senses. But do you always need a large wok? Not necessarily. For smaller meals, side dishes, or when cooking for just one or a few people, a smaller wok pan does the job. These compact versions are excellent for creating infused oils, quickly stir-frying ingredients to add to dishes prepared in other frying pans or sauté pans, or for delicately finishing sides and glazing fine fish. It's important to note that smaller woks reach high temperatures more quickly, which is energy-efficient but also demands a deft touch with timing and temperature control. Mastery of these nuances will ensure that every dish you prepare with your wok set is cooked to perfection.
