Flat Bottom Carbon Steel Wok Set with Lid and Spatula, 13.5-inch, 4 Pieces

Helen's Asian Kitchen Carbon Steel Wok is the perfect addition to cookware for a variety of cooking techniques, including stir frying, stewing, sautéing, steaming, braising, frying, and deep frying favorite Asian recipes and more. Crafted from a sturdy 1.6-millimeter carbon steel, it distributes heat quickly, allowing for even cooking. The cooking surface develops a natural patina over time, creating a coveted non-stick cooking performance.

The wok features a bamboo handle and a helper handle, both of which are heat-resistant for comfortable use. Its sturdy riveted and flat-bottom design sits securely on any stovetop and works equally well with gas, electric, and induction. The high-domed lid retains heat during the cooking process and prevents splatters. The wok can be easily stored by hanging.

Carbon steel is easily seasoned, re-seasoned, and maintained to help prevent rust. Successive seasoning and regular use will gradually build a black patina, providing a smooth, stick-resistant surface, much like a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. The more the pan is used, the darker and more stick-resistant it becomes. It is completely normal for an unseasoned wok to develop rust, but this will not harm or alter the performance of the wok in any way. Simply scour away the rusted areas and season as instructed.

Before first-time use, the wok should be cleaned thoroughly and then seasoned to seal the surface and prevent rusting. The set includes a 13-inch bamboo spatula, a recipe booklet, and full use and care instructions.

Fashioned with a handsome profile and a rugged build, this Asian Kitchen carbon steel lidded wok provides a smart-performing traditional tool for high-heat cooking. Created by Helen Chen, daughter of Chinese cooking pioneer Joyce Chen, the 13.5-inch piece is crafted from heavy-gauge 1.6 mm carbon steel for speedy conduction. As opposed to nonstick pans, this material does require seasoning, but with a little initial help from the cook, it provides an optimum surface for searing and stir-frying.

Flat-bottomed for stability, this wok features deeply sloped sides and dual heat-resistant handles made of wood. A high-domed lid allows for steaming and accommodates bamboo steam baskets comfortably. The set also includes a 13-inch bamboo spatula and recipe booklet. For best results, both wok and lid should always be washed by hand.

Brought to you by HIC Harold Import Co., this Asian Kitchen carbon steel wok is a reliable and versatile addition to any kitchen. Its sturdy construction, even heat distribution, and natural non-stick properties make it an excellent choice for a wide range of cooking tasks, from stir-frying to steaming.
