Know before you buy
No, the Scanpan Classic 12.5-Inch Wok is not induction compatible. It is designed for use on gas, electric, and ceramic glass stovetops.
While the ceramic-reinforced coating is durable, we recommend using silicone, wood, or nylon utensils to maintain the longevity of the nonstick surface and prevent scratching.
The flat base provides excellent stability on standard stovetops, ensuring the wok stays level and maintains consistent contact with the heat source for even cooking.
Yes, the wok is oven safe up to 500°F. This makes it a versatile choice for recipes that require finishing in the oven or keeping a dish warm before serving.
The wok is easy to clean thanks to the nonstick surface, but it should be hand-washed with mild soap and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals to preserve the integrity of the coating.
