Know before you buy
No, this wok features an enameled coating, which means it does not require seasoning. You can begin cooking with it immediately after a quick wash.
Yes, the flat-bottom design and cast iron construction make this wok fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic ranges.
While the cast iron base is oven-safe, the glass lid is generally intended for stovetop use to monitor cooking progress. We recommend checking the specific temperature limits provided in your user manual before placing the lid in the oven.
To preserve the enamel finish, hand wash the wok with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using metal scouring pads or harsh abrasives that could scratch or chip the surface.
This wok does not have a chemical non-stick coating. Because it is made of enameled cast iron, it is best to use a small amount of oil or fat to prevent food from sticking during high-heat stir-frying.
Because it is crafted from solid cast iron, this wok is significantly heavier than a traditional thin-gauge carbon steel wok. This weight provides superior heat retention and stability on your stovetop.
