Wok ranges are specialized appliances that require specialized cooking tools and accessories to operate at optimal performance.  Town supplies everything you’ll need to work at peak efficiency.

Town wok ranges have nominal chamber sizes of 13″, 16″, 18″, 20″ and 22″.  Each size requires a different set of tools.  To learn how to determine the size of your wok chamber, click here.

* General rule of thumb is to use a wok sized 2”-4” larger than the nominal chamber size.   The exceptions are for the smallest and largest chambers which vary more.

** A cover should be 2” to 6” smaller than the wok diameter.

Suggested quantity: 1-2 of each per chamber
