Traditional Hand Hammered Carbon Steel Pow Wok with Wooden and Steel Helper Handle (14 Inch, Round Bottom)/731W88

Solid, deep and heavy carbon steel wok for healthier cooking. Non-Teflon. Commercial grade. Extremely durable. Easy to clean. Made with passion. To season the wok to create a natural non-stick surface, heat it on high until it changes color, then let it cool slightly before applying a thin layer of high smoke point oil. Return it to high heat until the oil smokes, which completes the seasoning process.

I especially wanted a quality wok with round bottom as I have a cheaper one with a flat bottom, but I now have a gas wok burner and a round one would be useless on my induction hob. It took Maybe an hour to prepare it. The protective oil washed off easily with hot soapy water. There were a couple of small bits of rust where the coating must have been missing so I just rubbed them off with wet & dry before heating to around 450c all round to get a nice blue sheen. It’s worth taking the handle off first as mine started to smoke when I got too close to the wood! After that 3 iterations of rapeseed oil wiped thinly all over and then heated for 5 mins before finishing with a frying of onion and ginger. It’s now a beautiful blue/ black colour all over and totally non stick. It heats evenly and has a quality feel about it. It is quite heavy but quality pans are. Totally recommend.

The quality is brilliant. It was easy to use and easy to clean.

This is a really good wok, but I’m afraid not for me. Got excited after reading the reviews and ordered it. First you have to season it, messy job, but this is not difficult to do. Cooks amazing Asian food, veg are just crunchy and you can cook big amounts. However, you can only stir fry, not for soups or liquid or it lifts off the oil layer. What I didn’t like is that the wok is really heavy to handle. Also not being able to wash it is not for me. Food sticks to it and is hard to wash properly without soap. Mine has rusted and I’ve had to re reason. Just too high maintenance! Now have decided to spend more and buy a toughened non stick wok.

Decided to replace my non stick woks with a decent one. Well made. Arrived quickly. Extensive and easy to follow instructions on how to clean and season / care for pan. It is solid and heavy. Round bottom ideal for wok cooker burner hob, haven't tried it on one of the other burners. Take time to follow instructions carefully when cleaning and seasoning. Once prepared, we made a good stir fry of vegetables. Washed well and stored away for next time. Dried carefully to avoid rusting but if rust appears remove and re-season. So far very pleased.

Amazing wok. You do need some arm exercises because it's not a lightweight alu pan. Good quality.

I’m loving my wok. I do lots of stir fry now that I am a vegetarian and I wanted a decent wok. This wok although pricey is great in terms of quality, cooking results, depth and weight. The wok needed to be seasoned before use which I didn’t know at the point of purchase, just goes to show what I knew!!. Instructions are included to facilitate this process. Ensure you have a set of thick silicone gloves and an hour or so for the process. When you get the wok it’s a lovely bright stainless steel colour, but after the process you’ll have a black professional looking cooking wok that cooks to perfection! I seasoned my wok on my gas hob which was a hard, very hot and long job. The wok is round based so it didn’t sit flush on my rings making the job even harder. So it would be advisable to get a trivet which would have made it easier to complete the process and has made it easier for cooking. So a good investment anyway. I’m not sure if you could achieve the seasoning process easily if at all on a ceramic or electric hobs easily as the heat of the flames 🔥 hitting the steel is what transforms the wok faster although not that fast 😆. The whole process took me an hour or so. I’m really pleased and highly recommend this wok. I hope you found this review helpful

I’ve used other carbon steel woks with no problem, but this one keeps peeling badly. I seasoned it three times following proper steps, yet every time the black layer came off in flakes after cooking. It’s extremely frustrating — I’ve wasted time and effort trying to fix it. Beyond the poor quality, I’m genuinely concerned about the potential health risk of ingesting these flakes while cooking. I wouldn’t feel safe using it for my family. Overall, this wok has been a complete disappointment and I just returned it. I cannot recommend it.

Fast and secured arrival. It looks exactly the same as shown in the pics. It just need to be seasoned before using. Big thanks to the seller.

Está más grande de lo que pensaba y para mi eso es muy bueno, buenas instrucciones para "curar", me hubiera gustado que compartieran algún pequeño recetario para tener alguna variedad para cocinar. Hasta ahora va bien, esperemos que continúe funcionando correctamente.

This Wok is everything Craft Wok say it is. It’s well priced, well made and reasonably thick at 1.8mm, a little on the heavy side for some maybe but I have no issues with the weight. The extra thickness gives you flexibility when cooking on a proper burner. The handle was a little loose after seasoning as a lot of heat needs to be applied to wok which takes the moisture from the handle and shrinks it slightly...Easily fixed just soak handle in water fixed mine. I think most of the bad reviews on this wok are from people who don’t know how to work with and maintain carbon steel and most importantly season properly, there ire plenty of good vids on YouTube about how to do this, this is my first wok and I found it quiet easy. It’s a great wok to cook with, food comes out amazing with wok hei. I can’t see why this wok won’t last my lifetime, it’s a tool not an ornament, look after it and it will cook great meals for you...Cheers..

Ho sempre sognato di cucinare con un wok tradizionale, quello vero, che si vede nei video di cucina asiatica, e finalmente mi sono deciso ad acquistare il Craft Wok Traditional Wok in Hand Forged Carbon Steel. Devo dire che le mie aspettative non solo sono state soddisfatte, ma addirittura superate. Questo non è un semplice strumento di cottura, è un'esperienza che trasforma il modo di cucinare. Un Wok che Racconta una Storia (e Cucina da Dio!) La prima cosa che colpisce è la sua costruzione robusta e autentica. Si sente che è un pezzo forgiato a mano: ha un peso specifico, una solidità che ispira fiducia e quella texture unica della lavorazione artigianale. Non è il solito wok antiaderente leggero, questo è il vero affare. Dopo la fase di "seasoning" iniziale (fondamentale, non saltatela!), il wok ha iniziato a sviluppare una patina scura che non solo lo rende antiaderente in modo naturale, ma ne migliora anche il sapore dei cibi. Prestazioni di Cottura Ineguagliabili La conduzione del calore è eccezionale. Il carbon steel si scalda rapidamente e in modo uniforme, permettendo di raggiungere quelle temperature elevate necessarie per un vero "stir-fry" che solo un wok tradizionale può dare. Le verdure rimangono croccanti, la carne si sigilla perfettamente e gli ingredienti si mescolano in un tripudio di sapori. Ho notato una differenza abissale rispetto ai miei precedenti wok rivestiti. Il cibo ha un sapore più intenso, più autentico, con quella nota affumicata che in Oriente chiamano "wok hei". Curare e Amare il Tuo Wok È importante sottolineare che questo wok richiede cura e attenzione. Non è un prodotto "prendi e usa" senza pensieri. Il processo di seasoning iniziale è cruciale e la manutenzione dopo ogni utilizzo (pulizia con acqua calda e spazzola, asciugatura immediata e leggera oliatura) è fondamentale per mantenerlo in perfette condizioni e far sì che la patina si sviluppi al meglio. Ma questa "manutenzione" è parte del piacere di possedere uno strumento di così alta qualità e non è affatto complicata una volta che ci si prende la mano. In Conclusione: Un Investimento per la Tua Cucina Se siete seriamente intenzionati a fare della cucina asiatica una parte della vostra routine o semplicemente volete elevare la vostra arte culinaria, il Craft Wok Traditional Wok in Hand Forged Carbon Steel è un investimento che vale ogni singolo centesimo. Non è solo un utensile, è un partner in cucina che vi regalerà sapori autentici e una soddisfazione immensa ogni volta che lo userete. Cinque stelle piene e meritatissime! Preparatevi a scoprire il vero "wok hei"!

Great product. Works well, non-stick nice seasoned.
