Know before you buy
Yes. Because this wok is made from 13-gauge carbon steel and features a flat bottom, it is fully compatible with induction, gas, electric, and halogen cooktops.
Yes, it comes pre-seasoned with natural grape seed oil. While it is ready for immediate use, keep in mind that the non-stick properties will continue to improve as you cook with it over time.
This wok is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning, wash it by hand with warm water and a soft brush or sponge, dry it thoroughly on the stovetop to prevent rust, and apply a very light coating of oil before storing.
No, this wok is not intended for oven use. It is designed specifically for high-heat stovetop cooking, such as stir-frying, steaming, and deep-frying.
Hand-forging and spinning create a durable, high-quality vessel that offers superior heat distribution compared to mass-produced stamped woks. This process also ensures a unique, artisanal finish that is built to last a lifetime.
The wok weighs 5 pounds. While it has a substantial, professional feel, the long stainless steel handle provides good leverage for tossing ingredients during stir-frying.
