Unconventional in what sense? For westerners? A wok probably
I used to hate wok because it is so big to wash, but then I started understanding its versatility. I still hate washing it tho.

I feel this. I use my wok for everything. Would like to upgrade to a carbon steel one.

aren't woks usually carbon steel? what's yours?

IKEA. It's stainless steel with non-stick. It's the only non-stick thing I have, and I'm desperate to be rid of it.
Having a non-stick wok is incredibly frustrating because it doesn't handle high temperatures, and a lot of recipes I'd like to do require high temperatures. Like good luck trying to make chili oil in this thing, I have to use a regular stainless steel pot for that - which works fine. I like making Cantonese style scrambled eggs which isn't really possible in a pot and it doesn't come out right in the wok since you can't heat it enough, meaning the egg doesn't set fast enough.

Wok is pretty standard here in the UK.

A giant metal wok spatula is an absolute must-have also.
