At the Wok Shop in San Francisco's Chinatown people say owner Tane Chan can match you to the right wok on sight. The place is jammed with iron woks, steel woks, hammered woks, Korean woks, and every piece of paraphernalia imaginable. If you can't get to the store, shop the Web site. They do mail order. Be sure to mention The Splendid Table when ordering!
