What does WOK mean in Scrabble?
noun
A round-bottomed Chinese pan for fast cooking over a high flame.
The shape is the method: heat gathers at the lowest point, food is pushed up the sides to wait, and each thing meets the fire in the order it needs. A wok wants more heat than a domestic ring can give, which is why restaurant food carries a faint scorch that home cooking rarely reaches — cooks call it the breath of the wok.
