A wok (in Standard Cantonese as ) is a versatile round-bottomed cooking vessel originating in China. It is used especially in East and Southeast Asia. South Asia also uses a similarly-shaped vessel known as a karahi also known in the northern parts of India as Kadhai. In the state of Kerala in India, a round bottomed wok is used for cooking and it is referred to as Cheen Chatti (Chinese Utensil), so perhaps its origin is China and the Chinese travellers who visited India. A wok is most often used for stir frying, but can also be used many other ways, such as in steaming, deep frying, braising, stewing, smoking, or making soup. It is commonly, almost exclusively, cooked with a long handle ''chahn'' (spatula) and/or a long handle ''hoak'' (ladle). The long extensions of these utensils allows the cook to work with the food without burning the hand.
