Know before you buy
No, this wok does not require seasoning. It features a durable matt black enamel interior that is ready to use right out of the box.
Yes, the wok is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric. Its flat bottom ensures stable contact with the heating surface for efficient heat transfer.
While the manufacturer notes it is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm water and mild soap to maintain the longevity and appearance of the enamel finish.
The wok weighs approximately 9.41 lbs (4.27 kg). Because it is made of solid cast iron, it has a substantial feel, so you may want to use both loop handles when moving it from the stovetop to the table.
Yes, it is oven-safe up to 260°C (500°F). This makes it excellent for recipes that require starting on the stovetop and finishing in the oven, such as braised dishes.
The included glass lid is designed to withstand standard oven temperatures, but please ensure you do not exceed the maximum heat resistance rating of 260°C.
