wok

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for chinese cooking' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'good to a certain point' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'ok'.
'to a' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'certain point' becomes 'w' (W is an example. I am not sure about the 'certain' bit.).
'ok' put after 'w' is 'WOK'.

'it's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wok that I've seen before include "Chinese cooking pan" , "A Chinese large-bowled frying pan" , "pot" , "Chinese cooking vessel like large bowl" , "Large Chinese frying pan" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
