ZhenSanHuan Chinese Hand Hammered Iron Wok

While the wok is designed with a traditional round bottom for optimal stir-frying, it is compatible with induction stovetops. However, because the base is curved, it will not sit flush against a flat glass or ceramic cooktop, which may reduce heating efficiency compared to a gas range.

While the wok comes pre-seasoned and ready to use, carbon steel cookware benefits from ongoing maintenance. We recommend a quick wash and a light coat of oil after your first few uses to help build up and maintain that natural non-stick patina.

The wok is crafted from durable carbon steel, which strikes a balance between professional-grade sturdiness and manageable weight. The inclusion of a helper handle opposite the main iron handle provides extra stability, making it easier to lift and toss ingredients safely.

Avoid the dishwasher at all costs. Simply rinse the wok with hot water and a soft sponge, dry it thoroughly over low heat on the stove, and apply a very thin layer of oil to prevent rusting. This simple routine will preserve the seasoning and extend the life of your pan.

Hand-hammering creates a textured surface that helps oil distribute more evenly and prevents food from sticking as easily. It also adds structural integrity to the carbon steel, ensuring the wok heats up quickly and retains that heat effectively for high-heat cooking.
