Does this wok work on induction cooktops?

Yes, the flat bottom and carbon steel construction make it compatible with induction, gas, and electric stovetops.

How do I season this wok before first use?

The super-nitriding treatment gives it a head start, but you should still heat it with a thin layer of oil before cooking. Wipe out excess, then repeat the process a few times to build up the initial patina.

Can I put this in the dishwasher?

No. Carbon steel woks must be hand washed and dried immediately to prevent rust. The dishwasher will strip the seasoning and cause corrosion.

What does super-nitriding do?

It diffuses nitrogen into the steel at a molecular level, creating a harder, more rust-resistant surface that takes seasoning faster than untreated carbon steel.

Will the wok change color over time?

Yes. As you cook and season it, the surface will darken and develop a mottled patina. This is normal and improves the nonstick performance.

Super-Nitrided Carbon Steel Wok with Flat Bottom

Most carbon steel woks arrive raw, which means weeks of careful seasoning before they stop sticking and months before they stop rusting at the first drop of water. The nitriding treatment here solves the early frustration: it builds a molecular layer into the steel itself, so the surface is already partway seasoned and far less prone to corrosion. You still need to maintain it, but the first dozen meals are usable instead of experimental. Worth it if you want carbon steel performance without the drawn-out break-in that makes most people give up and reach for nonstick.

Good gift when

Cooks who stir-fry or sear at high heat several times a week
Anyone moving from nonstick to carbon steel for the first time

Home cooks ready to maintain a pan in exchange for better performance

The details

This wok starts with carbon steel—the material that heats fast, responds quickly when you adjust the flame, and develops a natural nonstick patina over time. The super-nitriding treatment changes how the surface behaves from day one: it shortens the break-in period and builds a barrier against rust without adding a coating that can flake off.

The flat bottom sits stable on electric, gas, and induction cooktops. At 13 inches across, it holds enough room for tossing vegetables or searing protein without crowding, but it still maneuvers easily when you need to flip or stir. The sloped walls guide ingredients back to the center where heat concentrates.

Carbon steel demands maintenance—regular seasoning, hand washing, and drying right after use—but it rewards that effort with a surface that improves the longer you use it. The nitriding treatment gives you a head start, so the first few sessions are less frustrating and the wok is ready to cook sooner than raw carbon steel would be.
