Product Information

Full details

The Robert Welch 316 Series 28cm Wok is a professional-grade cooking vessel designed for serious home cooks who prioritize durability, even heat distribution, and culinary versatility. Featuring a premium tri-ply construction, it excels at high-heat stir-frying, steaming, and braising; however, users should be aware that because it features an uncoated stainless steel surface, it requires proper heat management and oiling to prevent food from sticking compared to non-stick alternatives.

FAQs

Can I use metal utensils in this wok?

While the 316 stainless steel is durable, we recommend using wooden or silicone utensils to keep the surface free of aesthetic scratches.

Is the lid oven safe?

Yes, the entire unit is oven safe up to 240C, provided you are using the provided oven-safe lid components.

Does this wok require seasoning like cast iron?

It does not require seasoning in the same way as cast iron, but heating the oil properly before adding food creates a natural 'release' effect.

Is this wok suitable for deep frying?

Yes, its depth and high-heat tolerance make it an excellent vessel for shallow or deep frying, provided you use an appropriate amount of oil.

What is the benefit of 316-grade steel?

316-grade stainless steel contains molybdenum, which offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard 304-grade steel, especially against salt and acids.

Troubleshooting

Food is sticking to the surface

Ensure the pan is preheated before adding oil. If the pan is too cool, food will bond to the metal surface.

Discoloration or rainbow stains on the steel

This is normal with high-heat stainless steel. Clean with a stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of lemon juice and water.

The handle feels loose

Check the rivets to ensure they are secure. If necessary, tighten the connection points with a proper screwdriver if the design allows.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before the first use, wash the wok in warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residue. Dry it thoroughly.

Care:

  • While the wok is dishwasher safe, hand washing with a mild detergent and a non-abrasive sponge is recommended to maintain the exterior polish.
  • To remove stubborn food residue, boil a small amount of water with vinegar in the pan to loosen debris.
  • Avoid using metal utensils that may scratch the polished surface; silicone or wooden tools are preferred.
