Chinese cookware is a type of kitchenware used for cooking Chinese cuisine. The most common type of Chinese cookware is the wok, which is a round-bottomed cooking vessel that is used for stir-frying, steaming, and deep-frying. Woks come in two varieties: the four-letter word 'woks' and the three-letter word 'wok'. Both are used to cook a variety of dishes, from fried rice to stir-fried vegetables.
