In a pinch, a proper sized wok makes a good substitute for a pot.  Never 
tried using it for a sauce pan, but might be decent there.  It's a fine
frying pan, unless you are trying to make omelets. It can do those also, but
not anywhere near as well, unless it is either an unusually large wok, on an
unusually small bottom (I think.  I've only tried it in my wok).
