Joyce Chen Classic Series Wok

Yes, this wok is compatible with induction stovetops, as well as gas, electric, and halogen heat sources. Because it has a round bottom, you may need a wok ring or stabilizer to keep it steady on flat-surface cooktops like induction or electric glass tops.

This wok comes uncoated, meaning you will need to season it yourself before the first use. This process is essential for building the natural nonstick patina that improves with every stir-fry you cook.

No, this wok is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the carbon steel and preserve the seasoning you have built, you should hand wash it with hot water and dry it immediately, followed by a light coating of oil.

The birch wood handle is designed to be removed, which allows you to place the carbon steel body directly into the oven for finishing dishes or keeping food warm. Simply detach it before heating to prevent the wood from burning or warping.

No, the helper handle is integrated into the carbon steel body of the wok. This makes it durable enough for high-heat cooking and secure maneuvering, though you should always use an oven mitt or towel when handling it, as it will get hot.
