Frequently Asked Questions

Is this wok suitable for induction or electric cooktops?

No. This wok is round-bottomed and best used with gas burners or wok rings designed for curved bases.

How do I maintain the iron wok surface?

After cooking, wash gently without soap, dry immediately, and apply a thin oil layer to prevent rust. Re-season as needed.

Why choose a round base with a single handle?

It offers better maneuverability and airflow for traditional wok hei cooking. Ideal for one-handed flipping in high-BTU kitchens.
