Carbon Steel Wok Pan for All Stove Types

Wangyuanji, an artisan handcrafted cast iron wok hailing from Jiangsu Province in China, is renowned for its classic turtle-patterned design and a heritage that spans over 400 years. Each wok undergoes a meticulous 63-step process to achieve flawless craftsmanship. This brand has successfully preserved the pan-making skills and ancient craftsmanship, which have withstood the test of time and competition even in the modern era.

Before cooking with the wok, it is essential to perform an oil-nourishing program to form a protective oil film. This film not only enhances the performance of the wok but also improves over time. The wok's surface is initially protected by two layers during transportation: a vegetable oil protective film and a black oxide protective film.

The "pre-seasoning" process involves using cooking oil to conserve the surface of the iron wok, allowing the oil to gradually penetrate the interior. It is crucial to remove the cooked food from the wok as soon as it is done, as the acid in the food can eventually damage the outside protective oil layer. After use, the wok should be cleaned and kept dry. If it has not been used for an extended period, a layer of oil should be applied.

The Wangyuanji Nitriding Carbon Steel Frying Wok Series boasts a clean and modern look while retaining the fine details of its nearly 400-year-old history. In the event of a small hole appearing on the bottom of the wok after some time of use, the manufacturer offers a refund or exchange.

The nitriding process used in the wok's construction forms a healthy, chemical-free coating that provides a solid and strong protective shield over the surface, ensuring durability and longevity. This wok is compatible with a variety of utensils, including spatulas, wooden, silicone, and metal.

Crafted from 16-gauge (1.5mm) sturdy carbon steel, the Wangyuanji Nitriding Carbon Steel Wok offers fast heat transfer, allowing for quicker stir-frying. It is suitable for a wide range of cooking tasks, from roasting vegetables and stir-frying to searing meat, deep-frying, braising, and steaming.

The wok features a flat-bottom design, a detachable handle, and a glass lid, making it safe for use on gas stoves. The 11-inch width and 3.7-inch depth provide ample capacity to serve 3-5 people, making it ideal for family use or small gatherings. However, it is important to note that the wok requires seasoning and is not dishwasher or oven safe. It should be washed by hand with warm water and dried with a paper towel.
