Product Information

We have wok pans from famous Chinese-American chef Ken Hom, from our Prue’s World collaboration with Prue Leith, and eco-friendly woks made by Earthpan. If you’re looking for a durable, versatile, and easy-to-clean mini wok, then the Lodge 9 Inch Cast Iron Mini Wok is perfect. Pros Evidently, regardless of cooking volumes, woks require about the same amount of inputs. So while an average-sized wok of 12-inch to 14-inch typically serves a group of 4 to 6 individuals, preparing dishes for smaller groups means we don't make good use of the wok's capacity. This is where a small wok comes in handy. The small woks mean you aren't wasting resources when cooking smaller volumes. Today, manufacturers offer woks in smaller sizes, ranging from a 6-inch mini wok to an 11-inch small wok. They also provide these small woks at varying bottoms and material types. Some bundle their woks with neat accessories, too. But It all depends on the size and material of the wok. You can certainly find a quality wok for a reasonable price if you are on a budget. However, if you are willing to spend a bit more, you can get a great quality mini wok that will last you for years to come. 1. Cast Iron Mini Wok

The wok has two small handles on either side. We like that they curve wide enough for our hands to avoid touching the hot cooking surface. The two handles also give you a better grip. Plus, by not having one particularly long handle, the Cuisinart also saves you some storage space. Our selection of wok pans and stir fry pans are all made to an exceptional level of finish and can withstand high temperatures, even oven temperatures up to 180°C. They’re made from materials like aluminium, carbon steel, stainless steel and even 100% recycled metals. As well as our range of sturdy and reliable Lakeland Classic Pans, our expert buyers have assembled a selection of woks from some of the best names in the business.

Final verdict

Woks come with different handles. Manufacturers offer them in varying shapes, materials, and sizes. Some have one-sided wok handles, while others hold double-sided wok handles. Furthermore, woks with two handles are either with two short handles or one long handle with a handy helper on the other side. Handles may also come as bare metal or wrapped with silicone or rubber.

We’ve also got round bottomed woks, or woks with flattened bottoms to give you the best of both worlds with the combined benefits of a flat plate and a curved wok.

We think there are at least five essential considerations when choosing a smaller wok. Size, of course, is the first part to think about. Do you intend to cook for a party of four people? Maybe more or less? Next is your choice of material. Some people have an affinity for cast iron, while others hate it. There are those who swear by aluminum, as well as proponents of carbon steel or stainless steel. For instance, although cast iron is heavier than carbon steel, its heat retention is also superior. Indeed, the “perfect” cookware depends on the situation. Your choice, then, boils down to your preferences and cooking needs. Depth and Concavity of Its Walls and Bottom Anolon’s cookware combines two layers of stainless steel with one aluminum core. Stainless steel and aluminum are an ideal match for wok cooking mainly because stainless steel is good at distributing heat evenly. In contrast, aluminum is an excellent thermal conductor. But the combination of three layers is also why it is on the heavy end of the spectrum of stainless steel woks. We have narrowed down the best small — and mini — wok variants in the market today, with the relevant information you will need to know.
