Do you agree?
What a pan can do, a wok can do;
but what a wok can do, a pan cannot do.

Flip an omelette in a wok. Make an overeasy fried egg in a wok. Make pan cakes in a wok. Wok's are nice but require a great deal of work to keep them seasoned. They are big...to big for a lot of 'regular' cooking & sauteing. They don't work all that well on an electric stove either....I've heard.
I've never heard of a cast iron wok. Boy, would that be heavy. Hammered steel is what you want.

Sure. But what is your point?

Am also deciding the kind of wok - is stainless steel better or cast-iron?
Or is there something a pan can do so well that a wok can't?
Thanks :)
