Whatever your cooking skill level, you may have wondered if there is a difference between cooking with a wok and a frying pan. While they look similar and can be used interchangeably, they are not the same and each serves its own purpose. Both are useful to have to hand in any kitchen!
So what’s the difference?
Both a wok and frying pan are designed for use on top of the stove. A traditional frying pan has a flat bottom with slightly sloped walls, and they are designed this way to allow for liquids such as oils and sauces to sit evenly across the bottom of the pan. In contrast, a wok has more of a round bottom, which allows the liquids to sit in one spot in the centre. Woks have deep walls that also slope and because of this, they trap in more heat, cooking food quicker than if you were to use a frying pan.
