FAQs

Is this wok suitable for induction cooktops?

Yes, the Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless Steel Wok is designed to work with all hob types, including induction.

Can I use metal utensils with this wok?

Yes, metal utensils are generally safe to use with the stainless steel interior, but using wooden or silicone utensils can help prolong the life of the finish.

What is the best way to clean the glass lid?

The glass lid is dishwasher safe. For handwashing, use warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. If there are stubborn food residues, soak the lid in warm water before cleaning.

How does the 3-ply construction benefit my cooking?

The 3-ply construction features an aluminum core sandwiched between stainless steel layers. This design ensures excellent heat conductivity and uniform distribution across the entire cooking surface, preventing hot spots and leading to more consistent cooking results.

Can I use this wok for deep-frying?

While the wok's deep sides are suitable for frying, it is primarily designed for stir-frying and sautéing. For deep-frying, ensure you do not fill the wok more than one-third full with oil and always monitor the oil temperature carefully.

What are the dimensions and weight of the wok?

The dimensions are L39.7 x W31.5 x H14.3 cm, and it weighs 2.57 kg.

Is the wok oven-safe?

Yes, the wok is oven and grill safe, allowing you to transfer your cooking from the stovetop to the oven.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the surface

Ensure the wok is properly preheated before adding oil and ingredients. Use an adequate amount of cooking oil and allow ingredients to sear before attempting to move them.

Uneven cooking or hot spots

Verify that the hob is set to an appropriate heat level. The 3-ply construction minimizes hot spots, but improper heat management can still lead to uneven results.

Discoloration of stainless steel

Light discoloration can occur from overheating or mineral deposits. Use a stainless steel cleaner or a baking soda paste to gently remove stains. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads.

Glass lid is fogged during cooking

This is normal as moisture condenses on the cooler glass surface. You can lift the lid briefly to release steam if preferred, but it will reduce moisture inside.
