What is the best wok? We have gas, I don't care how much it costs. I tasted food she cooked at her parents in a wok and realise they are the superior cooking device.

been watching too many uncle roger vids haven’t you? whatever you do, don’t drain the rice!
also don’t get the cheap ones, they tend to rust.
remember to buy rice cooker as well
get a good quality traditional Chinese wok, which are hand hammered wok. When they are seasoned well, they are practically non stick.
Why is it so expensive for some random steel no name wok?
Go to an Asian store and buy a wok, none of those non stick fancy schmancy crap you'll find at Myers, kitchen Warehouse and stuff
This. Go to an Asian grocer and get a carbon steel wok for $15.
Most important step is seasoning. A brand new wok will be bare steel and will rust. Seasoning will turn it black and develop a thick rust-proof barrier.
And never wash with dish soap - hot water with a stiff brush only.
Always dry immediately over the highest burner setting on your stove.
It'll take years to develop that 'breath of the wok' taste.
Why don't you get her to ask her parents what wok to buy for your kitchen. Unless it was a family heirloom that was hand forged by the first emperor of China, then I think they might be able to help.
I have my eye on Yoshikawa Wok in Costco, if not mistaken around $120. If something wrong you can always just return it.
For me it's too small. 40 cm is a great size for a grown family
Wife asks, Husband goes to OzGoogle to seek a solution.
Sounds like a new reality TV series.
From the makers of the hit shows: Broden Wants Your Stock and Throwaway Account Wants Your Legal Advice.
I prefer Wok Swap myself, I loved the episode where they placed a Chinese Wok in and Indonesian household and the family just made Nasi Goreng in it anyway no F's given.
Don’t be disappointed when the food she cooks in the new wok tastes less superior. The seasoning is ingrained in her parents wok. It will take a few rounds using the new wok before the food gets superior.
It's not just the wok but you need a hot enough stove top to get the right "wok hei".
Asian shop only $15 for 16"
Carbon Steel all the way - Dont waste your time with anything non stick
Look up how to season a steel wokGood movie title
Do not get one with the two small handles on each side. They will get super hot and impossible to hold. Get one with a long handle on one side and a small on the other.
You need the Wok Hay
Half price high quality full stainless steel could be a good option. At any of the 'half price always/often' kitchen stores.
Stay away from non-stick.
$9 @ BIG W.
Nah I got this originally it's garbage
IKEA one is big and does the job. Will need to season it very well first
City wok
Sorry to hear, but not sure a wok will fix that..
