What customers say
This Demeyere wok earns high praise primarily for its superior performance and build quality.

Know before you buy
Yes, the 5-layer Ti-X coating is specifically engineered to be metal-utensil safe. While it is highly durable, using silicone or wooden tools will still help extend the lifespan of the nonstick finish over time.
The flat bottom is designed for maximum contact with all stovetops, including electric, gas, and induction. It provides the stability needed for stir-frying without the wobbling often associated with traditional rounded woks.
This wok is dishwasher safe, but we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the nonstick coating for as long as possible. If you do use a dishwasher, avoid harsh detergents to prevent premature wear.
Cold-forged aluminum offers superior heat conductivity, meaning the pan heats up much faster and more evenly than cast iron. While it lacks the seasoning benefits of carbon steel, it provides a much more responsive cooking experience and easier maintenance.
Absolutely. The wok is oven-safe up to 500°F, allowing you to easily transition from the stovetop to the oven for finishing dishes or keeping food warm.
The ergonomic stainless steel handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop during standard cooking sessions. However, if you are using the wok in the oven, the handle will become hot and you should always use oven mitts.
