Heavy Hammered Carbon Steel Pow Wok for Cooking - 16 Inch

Product Description

When considering the purchase of this wok, keep in mind a few essential details:

1. Round Bottom Design: This wok has a round bottom, making it unsuitable for use on flat electric or induction stoves.
2. Size and Weight: This impressively large wok weighs 5.7 pounds (2.6 kg) with a diameter of 16 inches, making it a substantial addition to your kitchen.
3. Seasoning Required: Before its first use, the wok must be seasoned. This process involves removing the protective oil that covers the wok's surface.
4. Care Instructions: Hand washing is the only recommended cleaning method, as it is not appropriate for dishwashers. To prevent rust, proper maintenance is crucial; carbon steel woks, including this one, can rust if not cared for adequately. It may take a bit of practice to master the upkeep of your carbon steel wok.

The term "wok" refers to a deep pan with a rounded bottom designed primarily for "stir-frying," which is a quick cooking method involving high heat and frequent stirring. Besides stir-frying, this versatile cookware can be utilized for deep frying, preparing soups, steaming, and even smoking food. Its construction from steel makes it ideal for use over an open flame, perfect for outdoor cooking sessions where you can delight your friends with authentic Chinese meals.

Seasoning Your Carbon Steel Wok: Always remember the importance of seasoning your carbon steel wok. You can find useful guides online or included with the wok to help you through the process. Proper seasoning and regular maintenance are crucial in preventing rust. Here’s a handy tip: after washing, ensure your wok is dried thoroughly and kept oiled at all times. Follow this simple washing routine: Wash - Wipe - Fire - Oil.
