Frequently Asked Questions

Is this wok induction-compatible?

No. This round-bottom wok is designed for use with gas burners or traditional Chinese wok stations.

Does this wok come pre-seasoned?

No. Like most carbon or steel woks, it requires seasoning before first use to build a non-stick patina and prevent rust.

What’s the benefit of the ear-handle design?

The twin ear handles allow for secure two-handed lifting and are preferred in high-volume batch cooking environments.
