How to choose a good wok ?

The good wok in my opinion should be easy to keep & clean. It is the thin coated iron wok. It’s semi-circle shape which black and heavy. It’s weight about 900 g.for 34 cm. diameter. This size is good for 1-4 portions.

To clean > Use soap and sponge to clean (dish washer is O.K.). If it’s burnt, just soak in water for a while before clean (don’t try to scratch, It’ll be damage)

To keep > Keep it normal as dishes. No need to coat by oil because it’s easy to get dirty by dust.
