Remember from about 20 years ago Wally the British guy with his genuine Chinese wok?
He visited Atlanta (which is where I lived at the time) promoting what I believe was the identical wok except that he was affiliated with a different company. Both woks had his picture on the box, as I recall.
The wok was perfect, except that the wooden handle wouldn't stay in permanently. Not a problem. I suppose I could have nailed it in if I had wanted to.
However, I learned that genuine woks only work on gas ranges (or fires!), so when I moved to an apartment with an electric range, I couldn't use it. So I gave it away.
I still miss all the delicious meals I made with it.
By the way, Chinese wok cooking (at least what I learned of it) consisted of mixing inexpensive meat with expensive peanut oil.
