Wok vs Plow Disc Pan - Challenge Accepted

The biggest difference is the high sides of the wok. Because of its depth, the wok is beautifully designed for stirfry cooking, frying and cooking meals with a lot of fluid. The plow disc pan is a nice general purpose pan because of its gently sloped sides. It isn't as good for cooking meals containing a lot of liquid. With respect to the two pans in the video, the plow disc pan is quite a bit thicker and so takes longer to heat and to cool down. Both pans can develop a seasoning over time that becomes increasingly non-stick in nature.
