School of Wok ‘Skinny Wok’, £20.50, dexam.co.uk The ‘ skinny’ wok has a dimpled surface, which, the maker claims, will mean foods are less likely to stick to it, so you can stir-fry with less oil.
It has heatproof handles and is suitable for all types of hob.
‘I like wok cooking — foods such as stir- fries encourage the consumption of more vegetables,’ says registered dietitian helen Bond. ‘But most traditional woks acquire a non-stick surface after being used regularly anyway and, even if you did end up adding a tablespoon less oil in a wok meal for four, you’d only save 34 calories per serving.
‘The advantage of this carbon-steel wok, though, is that it also imparts some dietary iron into food.’
