Know before you buy
Yes, it comes pre-seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil. While it is ready for immediate use, the nonstick performance will continue to improve as you build up more layers of seasoning through regular cooking.
Absolutely. Because it is made of solid cast iron, this wok is fully compatible with induction, gas, and electric stovetops, as well as ovens, grills, and campfires.
This size is specifically designed for single servings or small side dishes. It is ideal for individual portions, appetizers, or melting butter and sauces.
To keep it in top condition, hand wash the wok, dry it thoroughly, and lightly rub it with a thin layer of vegetable oil after each use. Avoid using the dishwasher, as it can strip the seasoning.
The dual-loop handles are made of cast iron and will get hot along with the rest of the pan. Always use heat-resistant oven mitts or handle covers when moving the wok from the heat source.
