Know before you buy
Yes, the flat-bottomed design makes it fully compatible with induction, as well as gas, electric, and halogen stovetops.
The flax oil seasoning is a natural, renewable finish. Over time, it may wear down, but unlike chemical non-stick coatings, you can easily re-season the iron at home to restore its non-stick properties.
Weighing 838g, this wok is significantly lighter than cast iron alternatives. Its 1mm thickness makes it easy to maneuver for tossing ingredients while remaining durable enough for high-heat cooking.
While the iron body is oven-safe, the British oak handle is not designed for high-heat oven use. It is best to stick to stovetop cooking to preserve the integrity of the wooden handle.
Avoid the dishwasher, which will strip the seasoning and cause rust. Simply wash the wok with hot water and a soft brush, dry it thoroughly on the stove, and apply a very light coat of oil before storing.
