Viking Blue Carbon Steel Wok

It comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, so you can start cooking immediately. However, carbon steel continues to develop its nonstick patina the more you use it, so regular maintenance and seasoning will improve its performance over time.

Yes, this wok is fully compatible with induction stovetops, as well as gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen ranges. Its flat base ensures stable contact with the burner for efficient heat transfer.

This wok is hand wash only. Avoid the dishwasher, which can strip the seasoning and cause rust. Simply wash with warm water and a mild soap if necessary, dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning, and apply a very light coating of oil before storing.

The riveted metal handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking sessions. However, if you are using the wok in the oven, the handle will become hot, so you must use an oven mitt or towel.

The blue heat treatment is a specialized process that creates a protective layer on the steel. This enhances the pan's natural resistance to rust and corrosion, making it more durable and easier to maintain than untreated carbon steel.

Yes, it is oven safe up to 450°F. This makes it a great option for finishing dishes or keeping food warm, though it is primarily designed for high-heat stovetop stir-frying.
