Chinese Traditional Hand Hammered Iron Woks

This wok arrives unseasoned, which is standard for authentic hand-hammered iron. You will need to perform an initial seasoning process before your first use to build the protective, non-stick patina.

Yes, this wok features a flat bottom specifically designed to maintain stable contact with induction, electric, and halogen stovetops, as well as traditional gas burners.

It is not chemically non-stick. Instead, it relies on a natural patina that builds up over time as you cook with oil. With proper care and regular use, it becomes increasingly slick and resistant to sticking.

At 2.3 kg, this wok has a substantial, professional feel that aids in heat retention. While it is heavier than thin aluminum pans, the weight is balanced to provide stability during high-heat stir-frying.

The wooden handle offers a comfortable, heat-resistant grip that stays cool on the stovetop. The iron handle version is more durable for high-heat oven use or professional settings but will get hot during cooking, requiring a towel or mitt.

Avoid the dishwasher and harsh detergents. Simply rinse with hot water and a soft brush after cooking, dry it thoroughly on the stove over low heat, and apply a very light coating of oil to prevent rust.
