Know before you buy
Yes, the Demeyere Apollo 7 is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction. Its 7-ply construction ensures efficient and even heat distribution across the entire surface.
This is a high-quality stainless steel wok, meaning it does not have a non-stick coating and is not pre-seasoned. To prevent sticking, we recommend heating the pan properly and using a small amount of oil before adding your ingredients.

Absolutely. The wok is both oven and broiler safe, allowing you to finish dishes or keep food warm after stir-frying on the stovetop.
The wok is dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward. For stubborn residue, soaking in warm, soapy water or using a stainless steel cleaner will help maintain its finish.
