Handle Material: The handle is one of the main factors in the oven-safe temperature a wok can handle. Stainless steel is durable, but a handle with a silicon coating may be more comfortable and easier for you to use to lift a heavy pan of stir-fry.
Non-Stick: We included a mix of non-stick and traditional woks on our list! Some people find non-stick cookware easier to work with than classic materials, and nonstick cookware also tends to be lighter than stainless steel or iron cookware.
Dishwasher Safe: For fast and easy cleanup, nothing feels better than stuffing your cookware into the dishwasher after dinner instead of spending half an hour scrubbing. A lot of the heroes in this wok review are conveniently dishwasher safe. Yeah!
Lid Included: Lids are ideal for helping along the cooking process without drying out the food in your wok. An included lid is a convenient feature that allows you to cook a wider range of recipes in your wok to delicious perfection.
