For the famous egg-fried rice dish, the ultimate aim of every professional chef in the Far East is to reach “Gold over Silver”, whereby each grain of rice is coated by egg yolk. This ancient technique has been passed down from generation to generation among many families in Southern China. The traditional material used for a stir wok to achieve perfect golden fried rice was, and is still for many today, black steel.
In the Far East black steel has been a popular metal for use as a stir wok for many generations. Much lighter than cast iron, a black steel stir wok is easy to wield for stir frying and tossing food.
Professional, heavy-gauge 2mm thick black steel, this wok ensures quick response and uniform heating for excellent stir frying, which is essential for dishes such as golden egg fried rice. Unlike non-stick pans, a Professional Black Steel wok is safe to use at high temperatures, as well as with a metal spatula for easy flipping. Professional Black Steel is compatible with all heat sources, including induction.
