In the Chinese horoscope, 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit; more specifically, the Year of the Water Rabbit (read our take on how to celebrate it here). The rabbit is considered the luckiest sign and is a gentle animal that thinks before acting, so this year represents serene, patient energy. We can use it! Luxurious comfort and delicious home cooking are Water Rabbit ideals, so to that end, we have some suggestions that will make you happy to stay at home and dine in and lounge in comfort:
Wok into 2023 with Smithey Ironware
Smithey Ironware crafts cast iron and carbon steel cookware with old-fashioned high-quality care: skillets, woks, Dutch ovens, grill pans, roasters, and more. To celebrate the Year of the Rabbit, try the Smithey Ironware wok which, like the cast iron skillet, is an iconic kitchen staple for whipping up a diverse array of global cuisines. While woks tend to be mass produced now from inexpensive stamped metal, there are still artisans who take great pride in high quality wok design and materials (example: Smithey Ironware and the Cen brothers in Shanghai). The Smithey Ironware brand combines function and longevity in a beautiful hammered form. Using a lighter weight carbon steel, their pre-seasoned wok weighs around 3 lbs, has a flat surface for stability, and is designed for high heat cooking and lots of fun cooking movement. This is ideal for classic stir fries, sautéing, steaming, boiling, and even light frying. Crafted by artisan blacksmiths on an old naval base in Charleston, SC, and guaranteed for life, you will love this item as a family keepsake.
