21. Great Wok of China
“Cooking with a wok goes back to two, three thousand years in China, and the Chinese still cook with the authentic Chinese wok.”
The Great Wok of China is…fine. It’s just a wok. It’s actually a little refreshing how few gimmicks there are, and the gimmicks the infomercial hosts do describe (cooking with high heat, for example) are the same quirks you might see in any wok you might purchase.
It’s a reminder of just how many foods and cooking techniques we take for granted today (hummus, sushi) that seemed wildly exotic to Americans in the ‘90s.
