Know before you buy
This wok has a 6.25-inch diameter, making it specifically designed for individual servings or side dishes. It is perfect for a single portion of stir-fry, but it will be too small for family-style cooking.
Yes, the flat bottom is designed to sit securely on glass-top electric and induction ranges. It provides the necessary contact for even heat distribution while maintaining stability.
No, the wok comes pre-seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil and is ready to use right out of the box. You can begin cooking immediately, though the non-stick properties will continue to improve with regular use.
Yes, the durable cast iron construction is built to withstand high heat, making it suitable for grills, ovens, and campfires. Just be sure to use heat-resistant gloves, as the cast iron handles will become very hot.
No, this wok is completely free of PFAS and synthetic chemical coatings. Its non-stick performance is achieved solely through the natural seasoning process.
Hand wash the wok with warm water and a mild soap if needed, then dry it thoroughly immediately to prevent rust. Applying a very light coat of oil after drying will help maintain the seasoning and protect the iron.
