Know before you buy
Yes, the Dragon Wok features a flat base design that makes it fully compatible with induction, as well as gas, electric, and halogen stovetops.
While the Carbonitriding technology provides enhanced corrosion resistance, it is still recommended to season the wok before your first use to build a natural non-stick patina and protect the steel over time.
Yes, the durable carbon steel construction is robust enough to handle metal utensils, making it ideal for the high-heat scraping and tossing required for authentic stir-frying.
The walnut handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop, providing a comfortable and secure grip while you cook. However, they are not intended for use inside an oven.
The tempered glass lid is designed for monitoring your food on the stovetop, but it is not recommended for oven use due to the walnut handle components.
To maintain the finish, hand wash the wok with warm water and mild soap, then dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning. Applying a very light coating of oil before storing it will help keep the steel in peak condition.
