Overview
A 12.6 inch carbon steel wok with a round bottom, pre-seasoned finish, detachable wooden handle, and a glass lid, built for gas stove stir-frying, searing, and deep-frying.
Carbon steel is the traditional wok material because it heats up fast and handles high heat without warping, and this one arrives pre-seasoned so it develops its natural nonstick surface with use rather than through a factory coating. The round bottom is shaped for a gas burner or a wok ring; it won't sit flat on an electric or induction cooktop without one. The handle detaches for easier storage or oven use, and a hanging ring lets it hang on a rail to dry.
- 12.6 inch pre-seasoned carbon steel wok
- Round bottom designed for gas stoves
- Detachable wooden handle for easy storage
- Includes a glass lid
Who it's for
Cooks with a gas range who want a traditional round-bottom wok for stir-frying, searing, and deep-frying, and who don't mind seasoning and hand-drying a carbon steel pan. Not suited to a flat electric or induction cooktop without a separate wok ring.
Pros and cons
- Pre-seasoned carbon steel heats fast for stir-frying
- Detachable wooden handle simplifies storage
- Glass lid lets you check food without losing heat
- Hanging ring keeps it out of a cabinet to air dry
- Round bottom needs a gas burner or wok ring for stability
- Carbon steel needs ongoing seasoning and hand drying, unlike a coated nonstick pan
Performance notes
The round-bottom shape and carbon steel body are meant to heat quickly and hold even heat across the cooking surface, which stir-frying depends on. Since it has no factory nonstick coating, the pan needs to build its seasoning layer over repeated use, and should be dried and lightly oiled after washing rather than left wet, the standard care routine for carbon steel.
