What customers say
This Heritage Steel Wok is viewed as a premium, lasting kitchen investment, primarily due to its exceptional build quality and superior heat performance.

Know before you buy
The 316Ti steel is reinforced with titanium, which provides superior resistance to corrosion and pitting. This makes the wok more durable and less reactive to acidic ingredients, ensuring it maintains its performance and appearance over time.
Yes, the flat base is designed to be compatible with all heat sources, including induction, gas, electric, and halogen stovetops. It is also safe for use on grills and in the oven.
Because it is made of high-quality stainless steel rather than carbon steel or cast iron, it does not require seasoning. However, it is not dishwasher safe, so you should hand wash it to preserve the mirror-polished finish.
No, this is a professional-grade stainless steel wok without a non-stick coating. To prevent sticking, we recommend preheating the pan properly and using a small amount of oil or fat before adding your ingredients.
While the 5-ply construction provides excellent heat retention and durability, it does add some weight compared to thin carbon steel woks. The ergonomic, stay-cool helper handles are designed to provide a secure grip, making it easier to toss ingredients despite its 8-quart capacity.
