Wok Ring

Description

This Steel Wok Rack is a vital piece of cookware for any Asian food eating establishment. Used to support woks when cooking on a regular range, this wok rack has a top diameter of 8 1/4 and a bottom diameter of 9 7/8 . Keep in mind that a wok ring should typically be 4 smaller than the desired wok diameter. Review: Nice Wok Ring! - This is a good wok ring, but it only works small end up on my gas burners. If I put it large end up the wok rests on the center of the burner, not the ring, and is very wobbly. Not a great situation. But if you have a different kind of burner than the standard gas range has, it may work either side up for you. My son wired the ring to our burner so it can't slide off, no matter how hard he chows the fried rice or stir-fried vegetables. When we need a regular burner, we just swap the front left for the back right, and it's all good, but we can put big pots or pans on top of the wok ring if we want to do so. Actually, that serves a purpose. When I put a big pot over high heat the fire goes up the side of the pans and all the heat goes with it, which makes boiling a pot of water a bit of a challenge. With the ring on, the fire stays UNDER the big pots, even on high, and actually boils water much more quickly. Review: Well built, poor materials - Fairly standard work stand/rack, and generally well produced, but upon opening there was already rust apparent where the metal edge begins to be rolled, so either low quality stainless or a bad batch. Sticker used to mark the product had also deteriorated and glue was very difficult to remove, probably sitting in a warehouse too long. Serviceable overall however.
