The Paroka Lightweight Wok

The Paroka keeps the shape of a traditional wok: a round base that gathers ingredients in the middle, then lets them climb the sides with each stroke of the spatula. Its handle is all stainless steel, joined to the bowl by a welded fitting: nothing sticks out inside the bowl where leftovers could get trapped. The satin finish of the stainless steel stays understated, whether the wok hangs on the wall or sits on the heat.

Its name says it: the Paroka is all about lightness. One hand is enough to lift it, add a sauce or slide a stir-fry onto the dish, without tiring your wrist. The ergonomic handle stops your grip from slipping, even when your fingers are a little damp. You get the strength of steel without the weight you usually expect from large kitchen woks.

With no lid, the Paroka is made for fast cooking at high temperature: lamb and cumin noodles, peppers, carrots or sweetcorn seared in a few turns of the spatula. Stainless steel spreads the heat through the bowl so everything cooks at once. It works over a gas flame, the natural partner for this kind of high-heat cooking.

Choose 30 or 32cm across depending on your table, which can range from 1 to 6 people. Egg-fried rice goes straight from the wok to the plate, with no serving dish to wash afterwards. For the washing-up, you have two options: the dishwasher or a quick wash by hand, your choice. One last point: three certifications, EU, CE and CIQ, guarantee safe use.
