What customers say
Customers consistently praise the superior quality and performance of this wok. Its robust 5-ply construction ensures remarkably even heat distribution, making stir frying precise and efficient.

Know before you buy
Because this wok has a traditional round bottom, it will not sit flush on flat glass or induction cooktops. It is best suited for gas burners with a wok ring or a dedicated wok burner to ensure stability and proper heat contact.
The 5-ply construction extends through the entire body of the pan, not just the base. This ensures rapid, even heat distribution up the sides, which is essential for maintaining the high temperatures needed for authentic stir-frying without creating cold spots.
Like all professional-grade stainless steel cookware, this wok requires proper preheating to create a natural non-stick effect. Once the pan is hot and you add your oil, it will perform exceptionally well for searing and stir-frying.
The stainless steel handle is designed for durability and professional use. While it is heat-resistant, it can conduct heat during long cooking sessions, so it is recommended to keep a kitchen towel or oven mitt nearby.
While the high-quality 18/10 stainless steel is technically dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to maintain the finish and longevity of the material over time.
