Know before you buy
Yes, it arrives pre-seasoned, so you can start cooking immediately. However, keep in mind that carbon steel continues to build its non-stick patina the more you use it, so the surface performance will actually improve over time.
Absolutely. Unlike non-stick coatings that scratch easily, this carbon steel wok is durable enough to handle metal utensils without damaging the surface.
The silicone sleeve is designed for comfortable handling on the stovetop, but it should be removed before placing the wok in the oven or on a grill, as it is not rated for the high temperatures the pan itself can withstand.
To preserve the seasoning, this wok must be hand-washed only. Avoid the dishwasher, and after washing, dry it thoroughly and apply a light coating of oil before storing to prevent rust.
Yes, the carbon steel construction is fully compatible with induction stovetops, as well as gas, electric, and halogen ranges.
This wok is oven-safe up to 660°F, making it a versatile tool for high-heat searing or finishing dishes in the oven.
