ZWILLING Dragon Wok

Yes, like all traditional carbon steel cookware, this wok requires an initial seasoning process to build up a natural, non-stick patina. While the carbonitriding technology enhances durability and corrosion resistance, seasoning is still essential for optimal performance and food release.

Yes, the carbon steel construction is durable enough to withstand metal spatulas and ladles. You do not need to worry about scratching or damaging the surface during high-heat stir-frying.

Yes, it features a flat bottom design specifically engineered to maintain full contact with induction surfaces. This ensures efficient, even heat distribution across the entire cooking area.

The wok must be hand-washed to preserve the integrity of the carbon steel and the walnut handle. Avoid soaking the handle in water, and occasionally treat the wood with a food-safe mineral oil to keep it from drying out over time.

No, the lid is designed for monitoring your food on the stovetop and is not intended for oven use. The walnut handle on the wok itself is also not oven-safe.

The wok itself weighs 3.2 pounds, which is relatively lightweight for its size. This makes it easy to maneuver for tossing ingredients, though you should account for the weight of your ingredients and the 4.7-liter capacity when lifting.
