Product Information
Full details
The Living and Home Stainless Steel Wok is designed for home cooks, professional chefs, and caterers who require a durable, high-capacity vessel for versatile cooking tasks. Its primary advantage is the professional-grade stainless steel construction that provides excellent heat retention and even cooking for everything from delicate stir-fries to large-batch stews. While its deep, round-bottomed design is ideal for high-heat techniques, users should note that it requires a sturdy stove grate or a wok ring to maintain stability on traditional flat-top ranges.

FAQs
Can I use this wok on an induction cooktop?
The wok's suitability depends on the specific base design and induction hob size; however, a round-bottomed wok generally requires an induction-compatible wok ring or a specifically designed induction wok base.
Is this dishwasher safe?
While the stainless steel material is durable, we recommend hand washing to preserve the matte finish and prevent potential damage to the handles.
Does this wok come with a lid?
This product listing features the wok and dual handles; it does not include a lid as standard.
What is the best way to clean burnt-on food?
Soak the wok in warm water with a bit of dish soap for 20-30 minutes. Use a non-abrasive scrubbing pad to gently lift the residue.
Can I use metal utensils in this wok?
Yes, the stainless steel is highly scratch-resistant, but using wooden or silicone tools can help keep the interior looking new for longer.
Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the surface
Ensure the wok is sufficiently heated before adding oil, and allow the oil to shimmer before adding ingredients to create a better searing environment.
Wok wobbling on flat stove
Use a heavy-duty steel wok ring to provide a flat, stable base that sits securely on your stove grates.
Discoloration or rainbow stains
This is common with stainless steel due to heat exposure; it can often be removed by wiping the area with a small amount of white vinegar or a dedicated stainless steel cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before first use, wash the wok with warm soapy water to remove any manufacturing residue. If using on a flat-top stove, ensure you use a dedicated wok ring to provide a stable base and prevent wobbling.
Compatibility: This unit is compatible with various heating methods including gas and electric stoves. Due to the stainless steel construction, it is highly durable, but users should avoid using metal utensils if they wish to maintain the pristine appearance of the matte finish, though the material is inherently scratch-resistant.
Care: To maintain the finish, avoid using harsh abrasive scrubbers. If food becomes stuck, fill the wok with warm water and let it soak to loosen debris before cleaning with a soft sponge or cloth. Always dry the wok thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots on the stainless steel surface.
