Product Information
Full details
The GreenPan Geneva 28cm Wok is designed for home cooks seeking to elevate their stir-frying and general cooking. Its durable 3-ply stainless steel construction with an aluminum core ensures rapid, even heating, while the diamond-enhanced Thermolon ceramic non-stick coating offers superior food release and scratch resistance. A potential caveat is its single handle, which can be less convenient for very heavy loads or when transferring large quantities.

FAQs
Is the GreenPan Geneva Wok suitable for induction cooktops?
Yes, the GreenPan Geneva Wok features a Magneto base, making it fully compatible with all induction cooktops, as well as ceramic, electric, gas, and halogen hobs.
What is the warranty period for this wok?
The GreenPan Geneva cookware is supplied with a manufacturer's limited lifetime guarantee for the pan body. The non-stick coating has a separate warranty of 5 years.
Can I use metal utensils with this wok?
While the Thermolon ceramic non-stick coating is enhanced with diamonds and is scratch-resistant, it is strongly recommended to use only silicone, wood, or plastic utensils to ensure the longevity of the non-stick surface and prevent scratches.
How do I properly clean the wok?
For best results and to maintain the non-stick properties, hand wash the wok with a soft sponge, mild dish soap, and warm water. Although dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads.
What does '3-ply stainless steel' mean?
3-ply construction typically means there are three layers of material bonded together. In this case, it refers to layers of stainless steel sandwiching an aluminum core. This design combines the durability and aesthetic of stainless steel with the excellent heat conductivity of aluminum for efficient cooking.
Can I use cooking spray on the non-stick surface?
It is not recommended to use cooking spray on this non-stick wok. Cooking sprays contain emulsifiers and propellants that can build up on the non-stick surface over time, leading to residue that is difficult to remove and can impair the pan's performance.
What is the capacity of this wok?
The GreenPan Geneva 28cm Wok has a capacity of 3.6 Liters.
Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the non-stick surface
Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding oil and food. Use the recommended amount of cooking oil or fat. Avoid using cooking sprays, as they can build up and degrade the non-stick performance over time. If the issue persists, the non-stick coating may be nearing the end of its lifespan or has been damaged by improper use (e.g., metal utensils, excessive heat).
Uneven heating or hot spots
Confirm the hob is level and the wok is centered correctly. Ensure the hob type is compatible and that the Magneto base is clean and free from debris that could interfere with heat transfer. Check that the heat setting is appropriate for the cooking task.
Handle feels loose
Check if the handle attachment screws are tightened (if applicable, though typically riveted). If the handle is riveted and loose, this indicates a potential manufacturing defect. Contact customer service for warranty support.
Discoloration of the stainless steel exterior
Minor discoloration can sometimes occur due to overheating or mineral deposits from water. Try cleaning with a specialized stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water. Ensure the pan is thoroughly dried after washing to prevent water spots.

Care:
