Overview
A pre-seasoned carbon steel body heats quickly and develops a naturally slick patina in this OXO wok. A removable silicone sleeve covers the handle, and a helper handle aids lifting.
Carbon steel gives fast, high heat for stir-fries and searing, and the pre-seasoning lets you cook right away. It works on induction, unlike many round-bottom woks. Like all carbon steel, it rusts if left wet and needs hand washing.
Who it's for
Home cooks who stir-fry often and want high heat get a responsive wok that improves with use. People who prefer to toss pans in the dishwasher should choose stainless or nonstick.
Pros and cons
- Pre-seasoned, ready to use
- Works on induction
- Removable silicone sleeve
- Metal utensils allowed
- Hand wash only
- Oven temperature conflicts in listing
- Needs drying to prevent rust
Performance notes
Thin carbon steel heats and responds fast, so food sears instead of steaming. Each use adds to the polymerized patina that makes food release more easily. Drying and a light oil coat after washing protect it from rust.
