But in addition, the wok pan can be used as a vessel for deep frying food in hot oil and for the preparation of various soups. It can also be used as a steamer and even as a smoker. The steel wok is suitable for open fire, and you can even take it with you outside the home and surprise friends with unbelievable Chinese dishes.
