Quality cookware is a necessity for success in the kitchen and happens to be one of my obsessions (those obsessions are all related - cooking, cookbooks, cookware, food). Finding a great wok has been the most challenging for me.  I've bought at least a half dozen varieties of woks and always ended up destroying them either while seasoning or ruining a meal because I felt I couldn't control the heat. 

My search for a wok that works for me recently ended with a Swiss Diamond® wok, specifically their cast-aluminum nonstick 14-inch 6-2/7-quart wok with lid. Not only is this wok nonstick (so no pesky seasoning needed) but it is sturdy and perfect for a number of applications. I've used it several times now for stir fries, deep frying and I even boiled some noodles in it.

 

Swiss Diamond® cookware is manufactured mainly in Switzerland, using hydroelectric green power supply, clean and safe environment and controlled by the Swiss authorities. Swiss Diamond® has been called "the Rolls-Royce" of nonstick fry pans by the Wall Street Journal; has been named "best nonstick cookware" by the leading U.S. consumer ratings organization; and is recommended by the Cooking Club of America. It is recommended for vegan and vegetarian cooking by the American Vegetarian Association and has won numerous international and regional awards. 

When Swiss Diamond® sent me the aforementioned wok and one of their cast iron enamel pots for review, I was thrilled. The wok is a stellar piece of cookware and their cast iron is a work horse. I am particularly in love with the 6.3 quart as it is shallow with a large cooking surface - perfect for frying chicken or searing large pieces of meats or several pieces of protein at one time. This casserole is perfect for a variety of things including slow cooking and more. With excellent heat conductivity and retention, the high-quality enamel offers improved resistance to scratches and has anti-adhesive properties, allowing for wonderful release properties making the product easy to clean and care for and goes from stove or oven to tabletop in style.

Swiss Diamond® is generously offering one of the woks in our giveaway below. Head down to our giveaway to enter. Along with the wok, we are giving away a copy of one of my favorite books from 2018 so that you can test out the wok yourself.
