Pros

  • Excellent heat distribution for efficient cooking.
  • Suitable for various hob types, including induction.
  • Durable carbon steel construction for longevity.
  • Wooden handle provides a comfortable and secure grip.
  • Develops a natural non-stick surface with use.

Cons

  • Requires handwashing; not dishwasher safe.

  • May require more effort to clean compared to non-stick woks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Initial Setup: Before first use, remove the protective coating from the exterior base by scouring it with a mild detergent, especially if using on glass-topped or induction hobs.
  2. Seasoning: Season the wok by washing it with hot, soapy water, drying it thoroughly, and then heating it over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil and spread it evenly across the surface. Continue heating until the wok begins to smoke, then wipe away the excess oil. Repeat this process a few times to build up the patina.
  3. Hob Compatibility: This wok is compatible with gas, electric, ceramic, and induction hobs.
  4. Cleaning: After each use, wash the wok by hand with hot water and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can damage the surface.
  5. Drying: Dry the wok thoroughly after each wash to prevent rust. You can do this by placing it on the hob over low heat for a few minutes to ensure it's completely dry.
  6. Storage: Store the wok in a dry place. The hanging loop allows for convenient storage.
