Know before you buy
This wok is designed with a round bottom, so it is primarily compatible with gas stovetops. It will not sit flat on electric or induction glass-top ranges, making it best suited for gas burners or outdoor open-fire cooking.
Yes, the rolled steel bowl requires seasoning similar to a cast-iron skillet to build a natural non-stick patina and prevent rust. You should hand-wash it, dry it thoroughly immediately after use, and apply a light coat of oil before storing.
The ring base provides a stable platform for the round-bottomed wok when cooking over an open fire or charcoal grill. It also doubles as a convenient stand to hold the wok steady on a flat surface during food preparation.
The 18-inch walnut handle is designed to keep your hands at a safe distance from the heat source. However, it is made of natural wood, so you should avoid direct contact with flames to prevent charring or damage.
The wok weighs 7 pounds. While this provides a sturdy feel for outdoor cooking, the long handle is designed to help you balance and maneuver the weight effectively during stir-frying.
