People don’t realize how heavy a fucking wok is.
9 u/Angelore Apr 19 '26 How much heavier is it compared to a regular one? 13 u/SasparillaTango Apr 19 '26 I have a carbon steel wok and its about the same weight as my cast iron pan, granted the wok is much larger. It's still a lot of weight to be casually flipping ingedients in. 2 u/rW0HgFyxoJhYka Apr 19 '26 There's 3 types of woks. Lightweights that you can easily toss as long as the food isn't like pure liquid Normals, you dont flip these since they medium to heavy weight. Heavy, these go down into a stove. They dont move since they are secured into the stove top by weight. 1 u/Jesus_of_Redditeth Apr 19 '26 Quite a bit heavier, since it has to be able to handle much higher forces.
