Why You'll Love This Iron Wok

• Pure Hand Forged Craftsmanship: Every pan is individually forged by hand, ensuring exceptional durability and a character that mass-produced cookware simply can't replicate.
• Big Belly Design: The wide, curved belly allows for high-heat stir-frying, slow simmering, deep frying, and sautéing — all in one versatile vessel.
• Uncoated Natural Iron Surface: No synthetic non-stick coatings, no PFOA, no PTFE. The raw iron surface seasons naturally over time, developing a non-stick patina that enhances your cooking and adds a subtle depth of flavour.
• Superior Heat Retention: Thick walls and a heavy base distribute and hold heat evenly, delivering consistent results whether you're searing meats to a perfect crust or gently sautéing vegetables.
• Easy to Maintain: Simply rinse, wipe dry, and apply a light coat of oil after each use. No harsh detergents or special products required — the pan only improves with regular cooking.
• Long-lasting Investment: Properly seasoned cast iron and hand-forged iron cookware can last for generations, making this wok a sustainable, eco-friendly kitchen staple.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this hand forged iron wok work on induction cooktops?

A: Yes! Because the wok is made from pure iron, it is magnetic and fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas burners, electric stovetops, and open flame cooking.

Q: How do I season my new uncoated iron wok for the first time?

A: Rinse the wok with warm water and dry it completely over low heat. Apply a thin, even coat of cooking oil (flaxseed, vegetable, or lard work well) to the entire surface and heat it until the oil begins to smoke. Allow to cool, wipe away any excess, then repeat 2–3 times. This builds a natural non-stick seasoning layer that improves with every cook.

Q: Will the uncoated iron surface rust?

A: Raw iron can oxidise if left wet or stored without protection. Always dry the wok immediately after washing and apply a light coat of oil before storing. With regular use and proper care, your wok will remain rust-free and develop a beautiful, durable seasoned surface.

Q: What is the size of this iron big belly wok?

A: The wok measures approximately 26.5 cm (width) × 13.5 cm (depth) × 27.5 cm (height), making it an ideal size for everyday family cooking and stir-fry dishes.
