I would go to Amazon but I have it in my head that I need to cook something in a wok today. Where can I go find one around here? Thank you!

Fellers on Grand has a nice selection of restaurant grade cooking equipment and they have a wok in there as big as a dining room table!

Seoul has some, I’m not sure quality but they were $15 and up

The Asian market on glenstone next to Walmart near Bennett had a lot of them last time I was in. They look like the raw steel style and will need to be seasoned. I got a cheater style with a nonstick coating at Costco, it’s easy to cook with

Whatever you get, spend some time looking on line on how to season them. Especially if you buy one today from a store more than likely it will have very little seasoning on it and you don't want your very first meal burnt to the bottom of it.
I love my wok, good luck

Thanks I didn’t know they needed to be seasoned like a cast iron. I’ll have to research

There’s a great wok YouTuber. Channel called wok with tak. When I started stir frying a year or so ago I used his info to select a wok. He highly recommended the stainless steel wok from Walmart. It takes some extra care, but he covers all that in his videos. I love my wok. It’s like $13. And I have to care for it, but it works great. Fixed a huge batch of fajitas in it last night.

They are the hardest ones to season if you don't got a torch.

That’s a great tip. I’m on a budget too, and am not a great cook. Thank you!

Got mine at Seoul. 15 bucks, preseasoned. Been using it for 3 years with no issues.

Sometimes TJ Maxx has carbon steel woks, wood handle. They season up nice and are a fraction of the price.

I would be under the assumption that one of the Asian markets, either Seoul Oriental Market or Asian World Market would most likely have woks in stock. I however would not be able to tell you the quality of those said woks. Another option is Restaurant Marketplace off of West Grand.
