SNOWCLAD Hybrid Nonstick Wok with Lid 13 Inch

Overview

Snowclad's 13 inch wok is tri-ply stainless steel with a textured nonstick coating rated safe for metal utensils, dishwasher, oven, broiler, and induction use, positioned as a non-toxic, PFOA-free alternative to coated or cast iron woks.

Unlike the carbon steel woks in this batch that rely on seasoning, this one leans on a stainless steel core with a bonded nonstick coating, so it skips the seasoning step and the dry-heat risk that comes with it. Tri-ply construction is meant to spread heat more evenly than a single layer of steel.

• 13 inch tri-ply stainless steel construction
• PFOA-free, non-toxic coated surface
• Rated safe for metal utensils
• Claims a coated surface 50 percent larger than typical hex pans

Who it's for

Cooks who want a stainless steel wok they can put in the dishwasher and oven without babying a seasoned surface, and who prefer to avoid ceramic or Teflon-style coatings. Not for buyers who specifically want the seasoning ritual and heat response of a traditional carbon steel wok.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Tri-ply stainless steel construction is meant to move heat evenly across the pan for deep frying, braising, and sauteing, addressing the uneven conduction that can affect single-layer steel pans. The nonstick coating is applied over the steel rather than built through seasoning, and Snowclad rates it dishwasher, oven, broiler, and induction safe alongside gas, electric, glass, and halogen stovetops.
