Stocking Stuffer Ideas: Wok Accessories!

I recently posted an article about finding a cast iron wok and I thought it would be good to include a follow-up on useful accessories. Even though these products are practical ... I wouldn't mind finding them in my Christmas stocking!


7" Cleaning Whisk You've got to keep your wok clean and this brush does the job quickly. It may look like some sort of torture device, but it truly works well to get off stubborn bits stuck to the wok. It can also be used on other cast iron pots and pans. There are also stiff bristled brushes that work great, but they are slightly more expensive.



16" Wok Chuan (spatula) This spatula is designed to fit the contour of a wok and allows you to stir fry without burning your hands (i.e. long wooden handle keeps you out of harm's way). The size of the spatula should be in proportion to the size of wok you are using.
