Overview
Babish's 14 inch carbon steel wok pairs a 6 inch flat bottom with a riveted wooden main handle and a smaller helper handle, aimed at stir frying, searing and pan frying on gas, electric, ceramic, glass or induction stoves.
The 6 inch flat bottom is a middle ground between a fully flat pan and a traditional round bottom wok, giving it some stability on a coil or induction burner while keeping more of the sloped sides a round wok is known for. The helper handle is worth noting since it is not on every wok this size, and it matters once the pan is loaded with food and needs a second hand to lift or pour from it.
- 14 inch carbon steel wok with 6 inch flat bottom
- Riveted wooden handle plus helper handle
- Heavy gauge steel for even heat distribution
- Works on gas, electric, ceramic, glass and induction stoves
Who it's for
Works well for someone cooking for a household who wants a wok large enough for bigger stir fry batches and appreciates a second handle for lifting a full pan. Less ideal for a single cook with limited stove or storage space, since 14 inches is on the larger side.
Pros and cons
- Helper handle makes lifting a full 14 inch pan easier
- 6 inch flat bottom adds stability without losing wok shape
- Riveted wooden handles stay cool during cooking
- Works across gas, electric, ceramic, glass and induction
- 14 inches is large, so it needs real stove and storage room
- Requires seasoning upkeep like any bare carbon steel pan
- No lid included
Performance notes
Heavy gauge carbon steel heats fast and evenly enough for stir frying, and the pan is built to absorb oil during seasoning so it develops a natural release surface with repeated use rather than shipping with a factory coating. The riveted wooden handles stay cool to the touch during stovetop cooking, which matters given how hot carbon steel gets.
