Wok of life.

We’re not afraid to call this wok perfect, and here’s why: It’s cold-forged stainless steel, with a thicker base for even-steven heat distribution, along with lightweight sides and an extra-sturdy rim. Plus, thanks to the aluminum that’s sandwiched between those layers of steel, you can count on extra-quick heating. The sloped shape and domed lid make it just the ticket for stir-fry, steaming, braising...even roasting a chicken. Oh, and did we mention it’s handcrafted in Italy? It’s true. It has flared rims and flush rivets, too—all for a pan that can pour without dripping, then clean up easy right after.
