kaqinu Wok Pan

While the nitriding process helps prevent rust, this carbon steel wok still requires an initial seasoning process before its first use to build up its natural non-stick surface. You will need to clean it thoroughly and heat it with oil to create that protective layer.

Yes, the flat-bottom design is specifically engineered to sit flush against induction, electric, and halogen cooktops. This ensures consistent heat distribution and prevents the pan from wobbling during high-heat stir-frying.

The handle is designed to be ergonomic and anti-scalding, but it is also detachable for easier storage or oven use. You can securely attach or remove it as needed, but always ensure it is locked firmly in place before moving the wok while it contains hot food.

While the honeycomb surface is designed to reduce scratches, carbon steel is a durable material that generally holds up well to metal utensils. However, using silicone or wooden tools—many of which are included in this set—will help maintain the seasoning and surface integrity for longer.

No, this wok should be hand-washed only. Dishwashers can strip away the natural seasoning you have worked to build up and may cause the carbon steel to rust, regardless of the nitriding treatment.

With a 12.6-inch diameter and 3.7-inch depth, this wok is sized perfectly for preparing meals for 3 to 5 people. It offers enough volume for stir-frying, deep-frying, or braising without overcrowding the pan.
