Shop Our Range of Kadhai and Woks: Perfect for Stir-frying and Deep-frying

Kadhai and Woks are types of cooking utensils commonly found in any Indian household. Let’s begin by understanding each of them.

A kadhai is a deep, thick-bottomed cooking pot with two handles which are very useful for deep frying and making gravy recipes. The material of the kadhai depends on what you need it for and through which medium (stove, microwave,  oven, induction) you will be cooking. The kadhai material can range from cast iron to stainless steel or from copper to an induction bottom. They all can be used for cooking curries, stir-fries and deep-frying. In India, we also find kadhai made of brass or bronze. Hence, the price of kadhai will vary from material to material.

A wok is a deep vessel mainly used in Chinese, Japanese and Asian cuisines. Its usability is versatile, mostly used in restaurants to stir fry vegetables and noodles. A wok kadhai is traditionally made of carbon steel or cast iron and is used for stir-frying, deep-frying, steaming and boiling. The shape of the wok allows for even heat distribution which is important in stir-frying. It usually has a long handle different from that of a kadhai structure.

Both kadhai and wok are versatile cooking vessels that can be used for various cooking techniques. However, their shape and design is different and thus they are typically used for cooking different types of cuisines.

At Vaaree, we offer a wide range of options for shopping kadhai and wok online. From flat bottom to varied depth as well as options for the material they are made of.
