Know before you buy
While the wok comes heat-treated, it still requires a final seasoning process before its first use to ensure a proper non-stick surface. Detailed instructions are included with the product, and the manufacturer provides support if you need guidance.
Yes, the flat bottom is designed specifically for electric and induction ranges. Note that the bottom is not 100% flat; it features a slight flat bubble that ensures the pan sits securely on the burner surface.
The wooden handle is designed for a comfortable, non-slip grip, but it should be kept away from direct flames. Because the wok is intended for high-heat stir-frying, always ensure the handle is positioned away from the heat source to prevent charring.
No, this wok is not dishwasher safe. Carbon steel requires hand washing with warm water and should be dried immediately after cleaning to prevent rust and maintain the integrity of the seasoning.
The wok weighs 3.3 pounds (1.5 kg). It is balanced to be sturdy for professional-style stir-frying while remaining manageable for home cooks, especially when using the steel helper handle for extra stability.
The steel helper handle provides essential stability when maneuvering the wok, especially when it is full of food. Unlike the main wooden handle, it is heat-resistant and also serves as a convenient loop for hanging the wok in your kitchen.
